VRay for Rhino - Planes cast shadows


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

New user of Vray for Rhino here. I don't know if I'm just not getting something, but I simply cannot get a plane with a simple bitmap (a background) to disappear and not cast a shadow. I need a reflective steel object, but with no shadows or visibility of the bitmap plane.

 

I have 'only in secondary' on and 'cast shadows' off. Seems to have zero effect.

In the picture you posted, is that the material settings? Because if it is, what you have chosen is most likely that if the material illuminates the scene, the other objects in your scene that gets illuminated will not cast shadows. In 3ds max what you do to achieve what you want is to select the geometry (plane) and edit the options of the object to not cast shadows. So my best guess is that you are in the wrong menu. As previously stated i am not familiar with rhino, so i am not sure where you would go to do this.
