matte Shadow..

[stephan_MA]

i know this has been discussed before, but after a search in this forum i still don´t have a clue what to do:


http://img159.echo.cx/img159/6943/problem6mi.jpg

left image: shadow pass from vray. plane on the ground is vraymat.
right image:rgb pass with plan set to matte mat with vraymtlwrp
middle image: both mats standard vray rgb pass.

if the plane is set to matte mat the shadow pass is complete black..

what i want is a shadow pass from a matte material..

a workaround is just to render with vray like in the first image..

any suggestions?

Hi,
I don't know if I have understood your problem right. You can assign a standard material to the teapot and uncheck "visible to camera" in the properties. Then you get only it's shadow. (The plane is matte)
Is this what you want?

yeah, if i check and uncheck properties i can create every pass i need..

but i tought of a smarter material based solution..

thx
