shadows only

I was wondering how I could render something and extract only the shadows from it. So I would need shadows only, with an alpha channel, so I can import into Photoshop.

Apply either Object settings Matte proporties or a VRayMtlWrapper and use it’s Matte proporties to all objects. Make sure Shadows and Affect alpha are checked and set the Alpha contribution to -1
