Title: control shadow
Post by: j.nosh on 2025-02-07, 17:38:57

hey

is there a way to control the shadow of an object.

I want to have a tree not to throw a shadow on the ground.

By using a comp tag I can solve it, but then there is now selfshadowing.

Is there any way to exclude certain objects from catching a shadow or something?

thx
jay

I think I'd make two renders and mix them together in post. Corona has not many options if you want results that are physically inaccurate/not possible.

Hey lollolo,

true that. I could render just the branch hanging into the frame as a separate image.

however i usually like the process kind of rigid all the way, so when there are lots of images to be finished i still keep the overview :)

so if someone knows something, let me know.

thx
jay
