Contact shadow?

[jstrob]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a pass to get contact shadow only? Normally for occlusion pas I use vRayExtraTex with a vrayDirt map. I want the same effect but without object selfshadowing themselves.

For example I have a character with snow falling on him and I want a pass for the occlusion created by the snow on the character but I dont want the character to have self occlusion in the recessed area (I do that in another pass)

Well, it doesn't work as a render element, as far as I know. As a separate pass though it can be done by simply making the object invisible to the camera (in the object properties).
