shadow catcher
Posted: Wed Aug 30, 2023 9:11 pm
hi,
i have something working using a shadow catcher. Is there a way to change the opacity/darkness etc of the shadow....without affecting the object casting the shadow. I can change the color of the shadow by changing the diffuse color of the plane material. But it's always semi-transparent. Is the shadow entirely dependent on the HDRI chosen? That doesn't seem right.
I am using an HDRI as lighting and can't seem to change those shadow properties. I tried using a different layer with the shadow catcher but couldn't get it to work. Basically the lighting wouldn't affect that layer for some reason
any help w screenshots is greatly appreciated
I'm using blender 2.8
