Title: no shadow catcher material
Post by: arail on 2018-04-25, 14:49:11

I have Bodypaint and I'm exploring Corona. Very impressed. I was looking at a simple tutorial about the shadow catcher material in Corona but was disappointed to find that there is no shadow catcher option when I go to Corona materials. Is this because Bodypaint doesn't have the native Cinema 4D shadow catcher? Or am I misunderstanding something.

Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

Hi Arail,

it is in "Materials -> Corona Menu -> Shadow Catcher material" but you must use Beta 1 (currtent stable) or Beta 2 daily build at least.

Thanks. I have a demo of the full version of Cinema 4D. Many installers by default install to that location and I have to remember to manually move the plugin from the Studio demo to Bodypaint. Now I have the most recent version of Corona and it has the Shadow Catcher material.
Have a good day.
