Don't if it is possible, but isn't there a Way to render a HDRI Environetment woth a Matte Object as Shadowcatcher with the MAYA HARDWARE 2.0?

[@Learn2Animate]

Haven't tried it , but thanks for the tip.

Is it possible to render more than 16 lights in one scene using Hardware 2.0? For some reason it won't render past 16 lights regardless of the light limit settings

[@Learn2Animate]

Yes, go to the render settings in the "Maya Hardware 2.0" tab, you can change the number of lights in the Light limit. Hope this helps. 👍 😎
