Shadow Catcher doesn't render in Blender
polycounter lvl 8
Hi,
I'm a former Maya user trying to get along with Blender.
The problem is this. I want to fade the background floor to black. For this operation, I need to render whole foreground with the shadows from the car separately — with a transparent background. Then make another render only including the floor. But for some reason, the final render doesn't behave like anything from the viewport...
... I hid the concrete floor. Made a duplicate and then set it to work like a shadow catcher. It all works fine in the viewport. Yet somehow, the final render ends up with the original floor. Even though I turned it off.
I really need to get this stuff working
Thanks for any advice in advance!
