Shadows with Radiosity?

[Winter]

Being relatively new to Max5 This may be a simple matter.

I've created an interior scene and have created and IES Sun which casts light through several openings. The problem is that I get the illumination but no shadows. I've altered the shadow type from Area to Map etc with no effect.

If I disable Radiosity I get my shadows perfectly.

I've tried darkening the ambient colour of my wall material, changing the IES Sun to a direct light, checking the two sided shadows etc.

I must be missing something here...

 

Thanks for any help.

Hi, have you figured out the problem?

 

If not you can send me your files and I will look at it

I figured it out - It was the physical scale that was affecting the shadow density and therefore making it appear as though there were no shadows being cast.

Thanks anyway!
