Hi
Ive used VRay with Modo before and the Shadow pass produced something that I could use in Photoshop, invert and use a multiply blend mode to add a shadow. In C4D, the shadow pass is different - looks like a render +shadows - is there a pass to easily isolate the shadows please?
Many thanks!
Hello @pali_rao ,
Can you specify what is it that you are trying to achieve? The Shadow RE works as a reverse mask for shadows that can be used to lighten, darken, or tint shadows. You can also have a look a the Matte Shadow RE (that shows areas where light doesn’t reach) and Raw Shadow RE (that stores information about cast shadows calculated from the lighting in the scene).
Let me know what is your setup and your goal so I can assist you further. Thanks.
Hello @pali_rao ,
To boost your existing shadows you can use the Shadow RE. You can then place it on top of your existing compositing setup and set its blending mode to “Subtract”. Please check this video and let me know if it is of any help.
Hi Aleksander - great!!! Thank you so much.
