Matte Shadow or Shadow Pass problems

[bacaran]

hello, I have experienced movie visualization with the vantage, but I had problems in certain issues. first of all, the lack of matte shadow is very annoying, for this i had to render with extra gpu render. please provide an option specifically for surface; such as shadows pass or matte surface.

Also, live link does not support object deformation motion blur.

Hi bacaran,

We have both your requests logged in and we are planning to add them in the future.

Best regards,

Thank you, Alexander, there hasn't been an update for a long time, is there a deadline when the new update will come?

Hi, bacaran. We are working on the next update. It'll be available roughly in a couple(+/-1) of weeks, but not strictly defined date, yet.

Was this ever implemented?

Hi Devin,

Matte Shadow or Shadow Pass hasn't been implemented yet. It will be available at some point but it is not in the near future plans so cannot give time frame.

Best regards,
Alexander

Is there anything we can use that does the same thing?

[Alexander.Atanasov]

Hi Devin,

What is your usecase, can describe what are you trying to achieve? Maybe there is a workaround for your project.

Best regards,
Alexander

Alexander, I use it for compositing to cast shadows and also to cut out pieces of the model so the background plate will show through. This is a very important feature that I use all the time.

I would like to contribute to this post , that shadow catcher even from one light source,(sun or HDRI) is super critical for camera match videos. Vantage could be extremely helpful in this regard if you manage to implement a functioning workflow to add a building on a drone footage and render once at Vantage without the need to go back and forward to after effects. This will include as well Vantage to support animated background. Then the only thing we will have to do outside of vanrtage in after effects will be camera tracking, but the whole rendering will be just in one platform , which is Vantage
