I created a bushy hairdo using fur for a character that I am animating. The cam shot is medium close and I am using the "use background" shader to cast his shadow on the ground. Unfortunately, the bushy hair is not casting a shadow on the ground- the figure's shadow looks bald.
This is a problem that I am having with the "cast" shadow, not the shadows on the fur itself. I am rendering with the Maya Software (not Mental Ray). Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
