HDRI & infinite plane

[omiKron]

Hi.

I was wondering, how can shadows on HDRI image can be acchieved using options for infinite plane? Or is there a workaround for this?

Usually you make two renders with shadows on a white plane, then empty background [alpha], with postprocessing the final image on the shadow layout.

Need help with this real quick! Thanks

I could help you if it was Thea. You'd use the plan for catching the shadows and then:

• Either assign a shadow caster material on it or;
• Create a material for it where the background would get projected as diffuse texture. This would be made either with front or camera projection.

Maybe there's a Vray equivalent.

This tutorial is for VRay for Rhino, but I believe its the same idea.
