made a little more of the case .

Magicsy ....to get basic shadows select your keylight (main light in the scene) and hit ctrl+ A then in the attribute editor under Shadows check Use "Depth Map Shadows", you will have to increase the resolution (just below where you checked) to suit your scene.

just a rough render to show WIP user added image
