Huh. After a fair amount of fiddling I got it working here. I've archived
the scene here: http://www.spacekdet.com/tutorials/matrect_shadow.zip if
you want to look it over. The plane on the right is textured with a material
rectangle. The plane on the left is textured with an image/ mask combo.
Inspect the materials and texture maps/masks to see how it happens. I prefer
the method on the left because you don't get the 'doubling up' that you get
by using a material rectangle. In any case, they both are casting shadows
and objects above them are casting shadows right thru the transparent areas,
just like they should. I'm wondering- check your light properties- are you
using solid ot transparent shadows? You need transparent for image masks to
work right. Hope this helps!
