Sometimes I create turntable or product animations where it would be very useful to be able to render with vantage due to speed (social media videos, no need for the highest quality). However I end up rendering them in corona taking about 2.5min per frame just because shadow catcher material is not compaptible with vantage neither are overrides in environment reflection. In the example image, I created a plane with a black reflective material, and override env reflections to black in the render settings to avoid the reflection of the HDRI. It would be great to be able to use similar settings or a working shadow catcher in vantage.
