cast shadows dont show in Viewport2
Using Viewport 2.0
...just a plane and a sphere with one spotlight shining on the sphere. What shows is the light on the sphere and the plane and the resulting shadows are fine. But the shadow that the sphere would cast on the plane is missing. Raytracing and all my setting are set to raytracing. When I render it shows up. When I use depthmap it shows, just not on raytrace. Have I gone completely insane?
