hello!

is there a way to turn off shadow casting for selected bodies?

i am looking to create a subtle watermark background by putting my model in a large box with company name slightly visible during 3d views. but, the shadow the box is casting is destroying the views so i’d like to selectively turn off shadow casting on the box.

i welcome any ideas—thank you!
