hi there, im trying to build a moonlit set in after effects, its all entirely built in 3d layers. one of the problems im having is with the lighting. when i set up a light source to imitate the moon, it creates a shadow on the wrong side of a layer, but due to the position of the moon, theres no way i can get around this just by moving the light source.
Is there a way to get a layer to accept one light source, but ignore another?

On the Light that you DON'T want to cast a shadow, you can uncheck 'cast shadows', and have it cast on the Light that you DO want. These are global settings though, so I don't think you can have a layer accept one light while ignoring another if both are on.
