light shadow

[zewanil]

Hello everyone ...

 

i am really stuck with this one and i was wondering if anyone could help

 

i need to make artificial shadow without any light on the object ...becaus the scene is already getting light from a lot of source ..

i just need to add a shadow of that object ...

 

how do i do that again?

 

thanks so much for your time

I'm in the middle of a render right now so I can't check the settings; you may have to fuss about.

 

Create a standard spotlight.

Set its color black

Shadow white

Multiplier -1.

 

Something like that creates a shadow casting non-illuminating light.

I don't know if that works with mr. I don't know if you can do the same with photometrics.

You could always use the 'exclude' button option in the lights modify panel - shadows section.

 

Exclude everything in the list from shadow & illumination, except for the object you want - set that to exclude from illumination only.
