Dear Bose

In order to escape lighting and shadows, usually use white color in the background. Go to graphisc-> Colour, Categories-> Display, Names-> Background, Colors-> white. Then it should be ok.

Krishnashish Bose

Background is already white; doesn't help at all.

The best solution I have found till now is to turn off all the 4 lights, and in ray tracing options, use AO ambient = AO direct = 1.0.

Is there a better way?
