Title: Add to Shadow Catcher the option to render like Render Selected
Post by: lupaz on 2021-10-07, 20:03:47

Hi,

Often times I need to have objects as matte and would like to see the background image without using a map in Enviro/Backplate.

It would be great if shadow catcher had the option of making what has the material applied completely see through. Pretty much as if you had the inverse selection in "render selected" mode, except that shadows and reflections can be seen (optional).

In other words, as if the rendering is multiplied by the alpha channel on the fly.

I believe this is how Vray works when you make objects matte, if I remember correctly.

Thanks.
