Ground Shadow in Render Does not Appear

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone! I am new to Autodesk Fusion 360 and I have a problem in rendering a model. I am using the most update version now (2.0.2676) running on Windows 8.

I have a block model here that I want to render. If I look from the tutorial video, there should be a shadow of the model on the ground.

However in my Fusion 360, the shadow of my model does not show up? I have tried rotating the lighting position but nothing happens.

  What's going on here? Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you very much for your help.

A lot of laptops that have integrated videocards use the system memory for both the system and the GFX card. That's called shared memory.

I can't say for sure but it seems like Fusion is reading that memory instead of the memory dedicated to your GFX card. @colin.smith or someone on the dev team will have to look into why your only showing 128mb of video memory.

Hi all, 

I've noticed the same issue. I have two models, and one of them suddenly won't render the ground shadows. the other will. i inserted one into the other and it renders. it feels like a bug because both models are essentially the same with same settings checked.

here's the one with shadow not showing;

I had a similar problem and posted two models... I figure it out shortly... it turns out that my model was on the under side of the ground plane. I had imported the model from Rhino and probably moved the position. Anyway, it means that the ground plane had a top and bottom, so your model might be on the underside of the ground plane, and your views might be flipped to think you're right side  up.

Try looking at the underside, if you see a shadow, then that's what happened.
