Model needs to Self shadow but not cast shadows

[mike_kennedy]

Is there any way in corona to get an object to self shadow but not cast shadows on other objects?
I need an object to have shadows from itself on it's self, but not cast shadow on other objects
Is this possible other than using an AO setup in the shader?

I can't think of any solution. That would be probably too fake for Corona to handle.

Only way I can think of is to render twice, once with the object set to cast shadows, once with it set to cast no shadows, then use a mask to composite the shadow version of the object only over the scene with it set to cast no shadows. The snag I can think of there is that reflections could be tricky, e.g. the reflections would still show shadows cast by the object into the scene.

Two lights - both identical.

One set to include the object you want self shadows on, the other set to exclude that object.

Would that not work?

or ambient occlusion? ;)
