You may be wondering this: If I don't want a shadow, why don't I just disable casting a shadow for this prop?
The answer is - sure do that - if it is ok that the entire prop does not cast a shadow, such as a one-sided square.
But - if you have a prop that has multiple material zones, and you want some of the materials to cast a shadow, but not others, you can't get away with disabling shadows for the whole prop. You want parts of it to cast a shadow. So you have to leave shadows enabled.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
