Hi guys,
I have a problem with schadows when the object has been scaled and rotated: the shadow doesn’t rotate with the object:
before rotation:
after rotation:
If I don’t scale the object everything works fine. However, it would make my life a little easier if I could use scaling 
I tried playing with the settings but couldn’t get it.
I hope I am missing something simple.
here’s a simple test case:
