  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2016
  • This Quick Tip is about the upcoming shadow catcher feature in Cycles. It implements this functionality into the Render Engine so you do not need to fake it anymore.
    A shadowcatcher material will be transparent where hit by direct light, while shadowed areas will stay opaque. It can be used for CG Integration (CGI), and Product Renderings (Infinite Background Effect), etc.

    FYI:
    the mentioned shadow catcher is at time 4:16
    However, in Blender 2.8 its not any longer under cycles settings. You can find it under "ray visibility".

    Thank you 😉 Now I still need to find a workflow to avoid using a sun lamp. So, doing everything light-related with an HDRi. Usually when I recreate the geometry of the backplate in 3D and projection map the backplate as a diffuse-shader onto it, I get a very prominent light falloff everywhere, where the 3D-geometry blocks the HDRi 😖

    I don't have the tick-box in Cycles. I'm on 2.78c, I have my plane selection -> object properties cycle settings and there are options under performance (use camera cull / use distance cull), but they are greyd out, and there is no Shadow Catcher option. Please help!

    With this method you can't control how dark you want the shadow to be.

    • @Rescan
      @Rescan  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can render your shadow to an additional shadow pass. You can control the opacity of this pass as you overlay it on top of your original image.

    Does it catch reflections?

    • @Nicistarful
      @Nicistarful 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It doesn't catch reflections or any other indirect bounces. As a physically accurate shadow catcher it would get 1/10 points since it actually catches environment light shadows. If you assign a material to the shadow catcher all reflections are black, treated as a shadow. I don't know how to work around this yet, which is honestly frustrating as it kinda defeats the point of PBR if your shadow catcher is so inaccurate.

      I had to try it multiple times to finally get a complete download. I don't belong to any file sharing sites so I can't do it but keep trying, it's worth it. OR, I've heard that this feature will be available in the next version of Blender.

      I have tried the shadow catcher but has yet problems so better wait until the developpers fix it. Yes, it will be probably in blender 2.79

    • @kipchickensout
      @kipchickensout 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Molly Kaplan ok i tried it about 10 times but had no luck. i discovered that a recent blender build on the official site has also shadow catchers and i tried that version. i activated shadow catcher abd checked the transparent box. it worked. but it had some kind of white border around the shadow. thats dumb :/ :)
