    HDR Environment maps don't generally cast very hard shadows because of their soft uniform lighting – Duarte Farrajota Ramos Dec 01 '17 at 10:13
  • could you please upload your blend-file to http://blend-exchange.giantcowfilms.com and/or provide a screenshot of your render-szene? it's hard to help without further information. – bstnhnsl Dec 01 '17 at 16:38

    The problem is that the HDRi is "surrounding" your scene (Like it's covering the inside of a sphere). You spider isn't actually standing on anything to cast a shadow on. Here's a tutorial that isn't the same Situation because it is using a photograph. But around beginning around 2.0 minutes there is useful information for you. https://www.blenderguru.com/tutorials/render-onto-photo-background – Dontwalk Dec 05 '17 at 20:48
