        Hi, I have attached my latest render, a print screen of wat the shadows look like on screen in SU, and the environment settings for both the GI skylight and the background. I hope this is helpful, thanks for all the help.

                You shouldn't need any multiplied of the Sky map.

                I'm wondering, it could be the time of the day. What if you change the time of say in SU?

                    I changed the time of day and I also did what arspi suggested, it seems to have worked. Thanks to you both.

                        I'm having the same issue, but I only got the newest V-ray and I'm not familar with the last layout. I've attached an image, you can see the shadows casted in the sketchup model, but for some reason its not showing in the V-ray buffer. I've even tried buffering the entire scene, and nothing. Please help!
