Just remember that you need to use Cycles to have Shadow Catcher option in the object properties.

Quick and short explaination. Now this is how a good tutorial should be. Thanks. This was very helpful.

[Locustavideo]

Super thanks. Was just looking for a quick solution for exactly that setup. Cheers!

[oliverpreuss]

amazing video and so quick explained, thanks a lot

[ADEPS.]

Thank you very much, I used it for rendering with layers because the indirect lighting filter was not working in the outliner.

[jakebonham]

you can also use the holdout and indirect only options in the outlinert to mask out the furniture.

If I have a large Architectural scene and I just want a shadow layer as a png I can composite in Photoshop how would I do that? I can't put a shadow catcher on everything in the scene there's too may objects.

[heribertocalderon]

any idea on how I can do this in Unreal Engine Been digging around like crazy and cant figure out how to do that.

The shadow comes out darker than without the shadow catcher mask. You can see this at the start of this video as well. How to fix this?

What if I want the chair and the chair's shadow?

[Mr.Doruko]

I can't add shadow to the photogrammetry rendered scene, I'm going crazy. Do you know of a video about it? When I add a background to the scene created with photogrammetry and set it as a shadow catcher, the scene does not appear, the backmost hdri is visible. I need help.

I need to render a plane without shadow. (object > visibility > ray visibility > shadow uncheck does not work)

[nataleesha]

why didnt u just disable camera visibility for chair? in the same setting where u enabled shadowcatcher for plane on ground

[PistaKralovic]

to hide the chair you just need to go to chair's object properties and in visibility>ray visibility uncheck the "camera" checkmark

[PrinceBrosnan]

But can I have a method for quickly applying this method to 100 objects at once, or, for example, to the entire collection of scenes?

maybe familiar to you? Thank you for the lesson

[unturnedindonesia]

[debokkavadebokkava]
