    Where did my shadows go?!!!

      Dear Uncle Adobe,

      I have CS5 (mac specs below) and in my project I have several text layers and a back ground and a light. All the tracks have 3d enabled and are accepting and casting shadows. The 'cast shadows' box is on in the light settings and no relevant layer is muted or solo'd, all is positioned correctly in 3d space etc. For the last week I had lovely shadows as I did this morning but suddenly- no shadow. I have had this before and put it down to me being a nob and just copied and pasted the comp into a new comp and got on with my life but having spoken to another more experienced designer (he tried to fix it on my project too), he also always has that problem too. Is there a generic bug or have I unintensionally pressed a shortcut?


      Thanks!
