Hi guys,
i'm working on a short experimental animationmovie. i shoot footage with the black magic pocket camera and want to mainly use it with the
Corona_shadow_catcher_material.
i made already some tests.

http://ifglitch.com/post/87723860506http://ifglitch.com/post/87977714301i used the standard settings, with mblur on shutterspeed 50-150:
images will be lit by HDRI (selfmade with mirrorball) if there is straight sun i'll use a corona sun additionally.
the dof i will do in post with standard ae dof blur
so now my questions are:
0. i'm using corona alpha build, version release 17.6.2014 (any recommendations? should i use older/ different build, only thing i need shadowcatcher...)
1. render engine (progressive or bucket)?
2. Sampling balance (not sure if i should change any ;)
3. HD Cache:
- Precomp density: what would be a good value, how much should could rise the number?
- record quality the hint says something about flickering in animation, what would be the values i should choose in between (for example256-1024)
4. ok lets say the settings are fine and i'm ready to render.
- normally i change the pass limit so 50-150 passes depending on the hdri and the light.
unfortunately sometimes it happened, that the rendering got stuck on one frame (corona info popped up telling something is wrong, and asked if i want to irgnore it, us pressed than on ignore all...
is there a way to prevent popping up this stuff, or just to ignore is completely
(reading helps ;) Quote keymaster info.txt in daily dropbox)
5. renderfarm tool:
does it make problems to use a renderfarm tool like renderpal or backburner?
6. is there a tutorial out, in which is explained how to comp the passes together? (refl, refr, direct, indirect etc.) just to get the beauty pass?
7. i asekd already in the shadow catcher tutorial thread, but to have it all organized in one thread
https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,3995.msg29796.html#msg29796how to get the bluish shadow back? (see attached image)? am i doing the comp wrong?
ok sorry for maybe asking stupid/unskilled/underskilled questions.
thanks in advanced
