hey guys,

I am having 2 problems with my new scene, I am using Maya 4.5.
My problems are with the trees and plants which were created with paint effects.

1. I can not get Maya to cast light on the trees.
I have searched the light linking menu and it doesnt show the paint effects at all...

2. As a result (or not) the trees and plants won't cast any shadows as well...

How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
