Only render object shadows / reflections via matte

[edwin_fuhrmann1]

Hey there.

I am having a bit of a complicated scene where i need to render a lot of objects separately but keep some shadows/reflectiosn while excluding them in the render.
I tried using the object properties tag to only render the shadows via the matte properties but i either see nothing or the whole geometry. Do i have to do some additional changes in the vray ROP?

Thank you!

There is a way to do what you need. But I'd like you to provide the scene for me to take a look at to be sure.

The way we are doing this is you need to have multiple sopnets one for each of your passes, so shadows would be objects that have vray sop obj properties on it, same for reflections.

Thanks for the response. i will simplify the scene a bit because its kinda heavy and upload it soon.
