VRay Ground Plane + Shadows? HDRi

[fpedrogo]

this is only for the nightly build, right? Which education licenses do not have access too, right? So, unfortunately i'm still stuck!! But, once the build is released i will be forever grateful!!

Wrapper material is available in the released build. The Screen projection mode it is only available in the nightlie build. You can do all the steps on the video with the exception of the screen mode, but you can save the final image as .png and place the flat image (background) on photoshop.

Is the wrapper material available in the educational license? If so i must have an older version. the version i have is 1.50.22564 (copied from the properties windows from the plug-ins options), and if in fact that is not the most updated version, where can i get it?

thanks

edit:
Couple mistakes in what i said, fixed it.

so do you know if it will be available in an EDU build? i'm confused why the edu build wouldnt get what seems like such an important feature.

thanks

Hi Guys
This conversation should have been made in the beta forum to avoid confusions. I thought that the current released build had wrapper material. I downloaded and installed the educational version and the wrapper material is not there. We don't have any limitation in term of features on the EDU version, so, yes, we will have the wrapper material and the screen environment mode in the educational version. We are pretty close to release a new build. So please have a little bit of more patience.

After the video Pedro did, I decided to give another try to see if wrapper material can do the job for me

Unfortunately Wrapper material it is not yet working as I expected. I know the ground plane should be exactly around the shadow but this takes time to be determined, also the shape of the shadow never goes rectangular..

Do you see anything I could improve using wrapper material? Did you get better results on your projects?
thanks

You may try to reduce the receive GI option, I guess around 0.2. I would like to have your scene to look at it and give you a better solution.

It is not a big deal, but my name is Fernando, not Pedro.
