Thanks romullus for your reply!

I'll make a try with your tips. I know that Corona is physics-based and I'm glad for that. I think the light sources, as you say, are the issue here.

[C4D] General Discussion / Export shadows only of an objects set

« on: 2023-02-25, 10:51:29 »

Hi everyone! First post here!

I'v got a complex task from my customer and browsing in the internet I've found very little hints about. Here's the thing (see attachment):

They would like to modulate the intensity of shadows of handles and knobs only, because they cast on the kitchen doors "oddly", in their opinion (but not in mine).

In my logic, I think this could be accomplished like having on a separate layer (.psd, .png, or anything with transparent background) the shadows and then installing them on photoshop and build the result there.

I've tried to understand the concept of Shadow Catching but since I've got a very complex scene, with multiple handles in very different positions and lighting, it will take ages for me to build singularly the shadow catching planes.
Is there any way to accomplish this with something, I don't know, like Multipass or similar?

Many thanks to everyone!
