unexpected shadow
I've got a .png sequence attached to a poly plane, Now as you can see in the picture the shadows generated by maya are the ones of the plane rather then the characters. I am rendering with global illumination using a HDRI file to light the scene. I am using maya 8.0 on a mac.
One solution to my problem was to switch GI off. But the render was 20% slower. So far I haven't found a workaround or anyone who had a similar problem. If someone has an idea how to fix this please let me know.
cheers

it might help. also, make sure your material has something connected to the transparency channel.

My transparency channel is connected, I think maya does this by default if you use alpha channel.
