shadows and reflection pass

[manish_mv]

Hi everyone

This is Manish Kumar i am a 3d architectural designer in an advertising and design company. I am very new to all this forum business.

I have just finished up with rendering of a huge contemporary shopping mall interior without any people happening inside. I used 3d max and vray rendering engine for that. Now it is time to add up some people in it in post production for that i have already added a large number of 3d rigged and animated people roaming around here and there. I would try to arrange some pics of that later on.

Now the problem is I want to add them back in my rendering sequence using after effects or combustion whatever u feel i should but dont know how to render them such a way that i can get shadows, GI and reflections of them on the floor and glasing etc.

Any help or a tip would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
