Hi,
how can I use the the shadow layer of my multiples rendering the compositing ???

I get an image where the shadow are white !!!

Thanks for your help.

TomG:
"Shows the shadows (energy subtracted from the image due to shadow ray occlusion). This is the complement to the beauty pass, showing white where there are black shadows. If this pass is linearly added to the beauty pass, it negates the visible shadows. Note that currently the shadows from environment lighting are always shown, resulting in a washed-out pass in typical interior renders." from https://corona-renderer.com/wiki/render_elements

So you need to subtract / invert the shadow pass.

Hi,

I have seen that, but I am not able to have a good rest in photoshop... maybe I'm doing something wrong...

TomG:
Don't know - you'd place the shadowpass layer in Subtract mode, or you'd invest the shadowpass layer and use any of the more usual Screen, Darken etc. type modes depending on the effect you want to achieve.

malindis:
This doesn't work :-)

Maybe I have to point that I'm using a shadowcatcher material to have a transparent background...
