Why does lumen not make any shadows?

Hi Brockdish,

One possible explanation is that your wall meshes material is single sided and there is no opposing wall, if you go into the material and change it to “Two Sided” that may fix it.

It’s a common misunderstanding, but Lumen doesn’t actually cast shadows. Shadows are handled by completely different technology called shadow maps. Most likely the angle of your directional light is incorrect, or your window material is blocking the light. Make sure the glass mesh is set to not cast shadows.
