How to render shadow from curves?
And render ricurves vs rinurbs?
I haven't used 3Delight for a while sorry for newbie questions.

Thanks

Because maya does not lightlink to curves, You need to enclose curves in a set, and point to that set in light's attribute node.

Thanks, it worked. But the curves don't seem to be selfshadowing. Is this because of the material? What is good 3Delight shader for curves?

Thanks

There are many, depending on your needs. Here are several links:

more advanced:

and ofcourse, default shave shader found in 3delight dir.

I did more tests, and while I get the shadow from the curves on other objects, I'm still not getting it on the curves.
Any idea?
I will check the list of links you gave me, thank you very much!

Thanks
