Hello, we have the problem that the mirroring with the Shadowcatcher does not work for different light types. Is this error known?

Is "Shadowcatcher Illuminator" enabled for the lights and light materials?

Hello Tom, you´re right, shadow catcher illuminator wasnt enabled at the second object, but doesnt work with light material width opacity and the light object (there isnt any checkbox..) in the scene.
Scene and Screenshots attached...

*Edit
improvemen: is´nt it possible to turn on the shadowcatcher illumination checkbox by default?

Hi, the shadowcatcher option should be added to the Corona light object. We will fix this...

As for the light material with opacity, it works for me - see attached picture

Hi houska,

i´ve found the problem, its because of material stacking.
See attached scene and screenshots.

Hi tuami!

Thanks for the clarification! You are right, I didn't try to combine it with material stacking... This is defnitely something that needs to be solved. Thanks again for the report!
