ive have always been fascentated with HDRI images how cool they look and how great the models look with the image in the background
but everytime i try to do it i could get the picture in the background with the correct lighting but i was never able to get the model to cast a shadow on the ground so it actually looks like its standing in the scene

so i thought i would give it a few more trys and this was the best as of now
tell me your thoughts

I noted this back in febuary on this thread. It's a limitation of the Ambiance Occlusion. Looks fairly decent though.

Maybe if we ask Yves nice enough he'll write something that creates realistic shadow

well im able to get shadows this way just got to figure a way to make it more defind
