Hello Wyldegod,

I rendered the file and see what you mean, though, it's not a shadow. It
also took me a little while to figure out, cause I rarely use this
function.

The problem is the "Lightening_Sphere". I don't know what you intended,
but remove "looks_like {Lightening_Sphere}" and the black sphere is
gone. Besides, the reason why it was located on the ceiling, is because
you wrote:

#declare Lightening_Sphere = sphere { <0,35, 0>, 10 }

When you add this sphere to the light source, the Y direction is 35+35.
Because the position of the light source, and the position of the sphere
are added. So you should declare the "Lightening_Sphere" at origin.


Keep POV'ing,
Hugo
