Enginz-001 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Hi there, I'm trying to render only my shadows for post composition. When rendering shadow only it gives me only a black color render. How come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mottle Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 What software are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaPixel Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Enginz, If you are using MAX, then I am assuming you attempted to add the "Shadow" element in addition to your primary render. I tend to have better luck assigning a "Matte Shadow" material to the surfaces I wish to capture the shadows on, then adding either the "Matte" or "Shadow" element to the render. Or... you could adjust the properties of your various objects in your scene to recieve shadows but not be visible to the camera and render out a second pass just for the shadow work (Something like that anyways).

Enginz-001 Posted November 12, 2003 Author Share Posted November 12, 2003 Thank you Mega Pixel I will that out, it seems to be a solution to be tried. I'm working with 3D Viz. I will come back with notes on this. Thanks` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
