How to Render Only Shadows with Transparency in Blender | Blender 3.4 | Quick Tutorial

[@lucas-correa]

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

[@lucas-correa]

Great tutorial btw ♥

[@Benjamin-vx2ot]

ha! good hint! thx a lot! these days i only use eevee 😁

[@snakemasterthorno]

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

[@kickaireightptilde4825]

So happy to see something at this length in the regular format. And so useful too!

[@jakebonham4496]

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

[@juanp.5364]

This is the best option right here.

[@user_Francesca]

finally, thanks!!!

[@PistaKralovic]

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

[@ruruan7509]

thanks!

[@albertakesson3164]

That helped me out, Big Time!

[@teeambird2079]

Didn’t work for me I didn’t get a shadow or a chair in the render

[@victorBrapp]

thank you a lot!

[@geanwood4082]

clearly，easy to understand，thank you

[@Locustavideo]

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

[@ADEPS.]

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

[@Pulse2AM]

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.

[@etolala]

you saved my day

[@oliverpreuss5875]

amazing video and so quick explained, thanks a lot

[@Kat-dt4nd]

Thank you so much!

[@braindrift2735]

super helpful, ty!!!

[@purple_fox_arts]

Thank you, that helped me a Lot! :3

[@nataleesha3633]

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

[@bradloflin6776]

camera visibility would remove the shadow also. Edit. Just tried this. Set ground plane to shadow catcher, then select each object one at a time and you can click off Ray Visibiliy in the object visibilities tab. I had multiple complex materials in several objects and for me this is a lot easier than changing the material node set up for each material.

[@Rin8Kin]

EEVEE?

[@DaMian-jw1gs]

Great! Thanks :)

[@k0walsk]

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?

[@GeorgeOu]

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

[@ИльяДедов-и4ъ]

Thanks a lot

[@heribertocalderon6094]

any idea on how I can do this in Unreal Engine 5????? Been digging around like crazy and cant figure out how to do that.

[@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.

[@bradloflin6776]

you cant just use background (color), you need a plane or some object to be set to shadow catcher.

[@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

[@AneeshArts]

Hi, As you can see its for one object a quick solution, if you have a scene than you have to use Blender's Scene Layers

[@PrinceBrosnan]

@@AneeshArts it's time to google, thanks for the reply!!

[@etiennemanuzzi9486]

thanks man :)

[@Zardiexalt]
