Strange shadow casting

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know what causes this strange shadow (see image)

Changing the “Shadow casting” in the Photo Rendering Settings from “by lamp settings” to "Hard" seems to eliminate the problem.


PS Strangely if I uncheck the “Transparency” in the Effects, the problem is also eliminated but so are all the cast shadows!

a little pixelation but much better, incredibly slow though!
This is the first time I notice the Realistic Sun option!

The new realistic sun shader IS mentioned in the Archicad 10 supplement to my book…

I assumed that an advanced user like yourself would get your copy from GSCNE, but if not, we can supply you directly.

I think I might of downloaded something at the time (I only upgraded to 10 recently so it wouldn't have been very pressing then!) I didn’t receive anything in hard copy if that’s what you mean though. So in any case yes, if you could send me the supplement that would be great.
