Hi,
I successfully used Shadow Curve in about 10 different instances using a collection of Bodies as the mask. However, I have now found that there is one particular body in this collection that, if included in the Mask Geometry selection, will result in no output from Shadow Curve (to be explicit, I get a full circle, since I am using Clipping set to Cone).
I have narrowed it down to this particular body. This body is wave-linked from elsewhere, but the issue persists even if I Extract Body and then break the associative link, and use the Extracted Body as the mask for Shadow Curve.
My settings are:
[ul]
[li]The Beam Direction is correct and is derived from the normal to the plane onto which the Shadow Curve is to be projected.[/li]
[li]The body in question is very clearly between the point and the plane, and within the cone. The screenshot shows 10 degree cone but I have used up to 80.[/li]
[li]The body itself is no different from the other bodies: same source, same methodology, no geometry that is more intricate or complex than any of the other bodies that do work with Shadow Curve.[/li]
[/ul]
What might I be missing here?
Thanks!
