Hi,
Checked your scene, thanks for the effort. Your plane is entirelt tranparent
and does not appear at all. To duplicate whats happening to me replace your
plane with a cube.Fit the MT to fit the center part of the top surface (say
the center square of a tic tac toe division of space). Now paint the cube
85% transparent using Caligari Phong. Add some difussion and a bit of shine
to imitate a plastic box. Now shadows will not pass thru. Remove the MT and
there are the shadows.
