    Default Shadow depth missing??

    Hi,
    I have put mr skylight portal in window, used FG + FG Bounce 5, but somehow i am not getting good shadow depth. I have marked the problematic area in image where I am not getting any shadow, image looks flat. Also have tried with 0 FG bounce & GI ON, but same results..!!
    What to do to get proper shadows in these areas??

    Thanks in advance..

    Are all you materials A&D? You may need to tweak the photon sample size and number of photons shot to get a decent result, typically the defaults are not good enough for a detailed lighting solution

    Turn OFF shadows from outside, only useful if there are significant shadows outside that will influence the interior, eg trees or a close building.
