Hi guys. Hope im posting in the right section. Im noob and need a little help. Its a simple thing to im sure, but i want to move the big white ball in the middle of the room to another layer so its not casting its own shadow from the main source of light in the room. Could some help with this mundane question or refer to me to a turorial. Thnx guys, help appreciated.

you try to click on shadeless for that light. That way it will not cast it shadow.You will find it next to Texface in Muteria.I hope this help you.
The Move-this-to-another-layer hot key is M. With the object selected (in object mode) press M and you’ll get a pop-up menu with the layer egg crate and an OK button. Select the layer you want to move the object to, and click on OK.
Thnx guys for the help, but i’ve still got the problem. I don’t want to use shadeless for that light because i want that light creating shadows for the rest of the room, just not the ball. Orinoco, if i simply move the ball to another layer, its still casting a shadow from the main light source.
Thnx guys
Digital, Orinoco told you how to move the object, but you’ll need to select the light source and click ‘layer’ to tell the light to only affect objects on same layer- then whatever light goes on the disco layer, do the same, so that it doesn’t cast a shadow on anything from other layers.
Hope that makes sense.
Omg, its funny how things just click sometimes and you finally get the simplest of things:) Yes, its make sence now when i piture it.
Thnnx again, you guys are great.
