Title: [SOLVED] Infinite floor and HDRI lightning
Post by: onehandisbroken on 2018-11-18, 15:50:46

Hello!

Is it possible to get a infinite floor look with a shadow cather material and at also use HDRI as lightning?
How can I achieve this? 2 sky objects? 1 for the infinite floor look, and 1 for the hdri?

Thanks!

Yeah, that method is what I'm trying to use, but with the addition of a HDRI sky object. I could try fiddling with it a la trial and error.

Maybe a big sphere with reversed normals with the scene inside it, made invisible to the camera by a compositing tab?

Still possible. No need for 2 skies though. Have a look at my setup. ;)
