Casting shadows on an hdri

zimmerkl

I'm trying to achieve shadows like in the image below, cast from an object on to an hdri. Is this possible with Vray 1.6? If so, is there a good tutorial for doing so?

Thanks

Hi Lars,

I've been meaning to put together a tutorial on the "shadow catcher" material. Here is a quick tutorial I've posted that hopefully can give you the basics of using the matte material:
