      Well, been thinking of a few options. The base, the 'shadow catcher' is essentially a big glass display stand so, I put four directional lights inside at the cardinal points facing to the centre.
      NO HDR/EXR/and lighting is set to colour rather than environment.

          OK, the image above has ONE area light firing down from the centre of the container the model sits in. This next has two spotlights diametrically opposite for definition added.

            Hello,
            nice!
            You can also generate a fake shadow catcher to place your model onto an HDRI background.
            This involves generating a material ID render for masking, a render without the ground, and a render with the ground—which you then set to "multiply" mode in your graphics editor.

              Thanks, I'm a past user of shadow catcher with Twilight so get it. I shall wait until Rayscaper gets a shadow catcher before going again.
