[3ds Max] Opaque Shadows?

Bleed

I have 3 lights in my scene (2 omni and one directional) only one of which casts a shadow, the directional. I've set up a Matte/Shadow plane to catch the shadow and I've set it's color to red, so I'd get a red shadow.

Problem is, the shadow is not completely red and it's translucent. Is there any way to get a completely Opaque shadow without setting the intensity of the light to something insane?

I'd assume the other two lights are affecting the intensity of the shadow.  Try setting the omni lights to not cast light onto the planr

Ugh, why didn't I think of that, but you were right, it's fixed now. Thanks a bunch.
