Hi
I've been cherching an answer to this for quite some time and haven't found the answer yet.
I "simply" want to have some object invisible during the render that would still cast shadows.
If you wonder why well i like to have my trees and people on my render to be add on photoshop (and no, a png file would not help me there, i like to set some transparency maybe a blur and all kind of effects that only photoshop can do). I also like to cast some trees shadow on my model to give them some "texture" etc... ect...
I know how to do that on sketchup (apply a transparent .png texture, sketchup will cast the shadow but the shape won't be visible).
But v-ray can't be fooled so easily...
If anyone had an answer that would make me really happy ![:sunny: ☀](https://community.sketchucation.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/2600.png?v=3orp1bvic7q)
PS : for tree i place them outside of the view field BUT for a large urban planning render i can't do that... so that's also a cheap solution i don't want to use.
PSS : Sorry for any english mistakes i'm a french frog eater.
