Title: Corona Sun- Only shadows.
Post by: melviso on 2015-07-11, 16:28:15

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to use Corona sun to create only shadows but no light. Is there a workaround for this? I am using a HDRI image and when I add a sun to the scene to create shadows, the sun affects the lighting I am going for. I have tried editing the hdri in photoshop and tweaking the gamma of the Hdri but the saturation or look of the hdri is drastic.

I am still using Corona A6. I am fully aware the matte/shadow mtl isn't available in this version. Maybe matte/shadow could be a solution?

Maybe I am getting something wrong, but how do you imagine shadows without light? :D

Haha..U are right. My apologies.I should probably try using AO pass. I wanted to ask about material override. Is there a way to keep the displacement and bumps of all the objects?

A6 doesn't have matte shadow mtl. I am trying to find a workaround for this.
