Shadow catcher mtl added

[Ondra]

you can use the "visible for reflections/refractions/... to disable the visibility of the material. At the moment I am not sure how to best integrate it into UI

amazing! Thanks!

[Edit] hmm.. actually, the catcher material does not seem to become completely black.

I had to hack it ;)

So it's not a bug that it's not completely black... mmhh... strange (not really sure if it's really useful then).

What exactly is the catcher property "meant" to be used for? I mean, I see it as a quick and dirty way to give people the opportunity to get shadows of their car renderings on a background - but it is not comparable to real matte/shadow stuff.
So what exactly do you want to integrate in a UI?

It will be quite a long time before this will be production ready though ;)

What happened to this option in the latest dailies?

[jjaz82]

I'm using alpha 5 and shadow catcher is greyed out (balck text) and unavailable.
What should i do?
Thank you.

You shoud patiently wait till Keymaster implement this feature in Corona. In the meantime, you can try this little workaraound: http://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,1057.0.html

[Utroll]

My mistake, I thought that would be ready in a6 but now I'm not so sure unfortunately.
Should always check original post date :S

[glukonaft]

So i`m really don`t understand, how exactly use that shadow catcher mtl? Poke my nose :)

[Ondra]

it unfortunately did not make it into A6, because it was not fully finished yet

[pokoy]

Bummer, I hoped for this addition for a long time. Will there be an update to A6 or is this scheduled for the final commercial release then?
