Hello

I have some troubles with shadows in daylight mode (only?).

If I load an image for opacity map on square object (with power set to 1). It become perfectly transparent depending of the opacity map but I still have a square shadow on the object under.

More if I affect a Black RGBSpectrum the square become completely transparent but still cast shadow

I must certainly miss something :oops:

Thanks for your help

Is it a bug ?

Not really a bug , just not something that Radiance had sorted yet in Direct lighting mode.
