Post by: pictura on 2021-02-15, 09:57:24

Hi,

Do you mind first sharing how exactly did you do it? We will then move it to Resolved so that future users can find help in this thread :)

Thanks,
Jan

Yes. Of Course. Solution was in the shadow catcher. Just didn't knew this option.
Had to change Matte/Shadow option from "backplate" to "environment" and then Environment slot activates. Then simply drag and drop my material with photo form "environment" in Render settings->Scene environment to rayswitcher "environment" slot. And it works fine.

Another problem is that such shadowcatcher render is distorted like Environment. I had no solution for that. I was looking rof solution of distorted environment some time ago but only solution was to replace enviro in postproduciot.
Do somebody know if it was fixed?

Hi, I do not see your file. At the bottom of the uploader page, you will see a dropbox link. This can be used instead as your file is too large for our regular uploader. Once uploaded, please let us know the file name.

Thanks!
