Title: ShadowCatcher but I dont want shadows.
Post by: Alex Abarca on 2024-01-13, 02:34:44

I have a weird request. I would like to render a green screen plate with the shadow catcher. But I don't want to cast a shadow to the green screen plane. How do I do this?

I tried going to object properties and set the plane not to receive or cast shadows but it doesn't respond to these check boxes. Is this a bug in Corona?

The easy way is to render the object as PNG with Alpha and the AO (Shadow) as PNG. So you have the object and the Shadow separate; you can combine them in the comp needed.
