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.

Fernando

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.
Here is my email: fernando.rentas@usa.chaosgroup.com

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