Blender Quick Tip #5 | REAL Cycles Shadow Catcher
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- This Quick Tip is about the upcoming shadow catcher feature in Cycles. It implements this functionality into the Render Engine so you do not need to fake it anymore.
A shadowcatcher material will be transparent where hit by direct light, while shadowed areas will stay opaque. It can be used for CG Integration (CGI), and Product Renderings (Infinite Background Effect), etc.
DOWNLOAD Blender Experimental Build: graphicall.org/...
FYI:
the mentioned shadow catcher is at time 4:16
However, in Blender 2.8 its not any longer under cycles settings. You can find it under "ray visibility".
link not workin' can u provide a link. like upload it
@@surveillancedSorry, which do you mean? the timestamp for the video?
@@DaZippa fixed it 🙂
Thank you!
Thank you mate
When version 2.79 comes out in ~2 motnhs , we will finally have a working shadow catcher!
I think we will have one in Version 2.8 :)

easy way
Simple, straight forward and very informative, this is exactly how a tutorial is supposed to be, Thank you.
Simple and clear tutorial - many thanks!
Wow! This is really great.
Oh wow!! I needed that lesson. And I'm pretty sure that background is Alexandria, Louisiana where I live!!! Hahahaha. Cool!
Thank you 😉 Now I still need to find a workflow to avoid using a sun lamp. So, doing everything light-related with an HDRi. Usually when I recreate the geometry of the backplate in 3D and projection map the backplate as a diffuse-shader onto it, I get a very prominent light falloff everywhere, where the 3D-geometry blocks the HDRi 😖
Finally! Thanks for the video!
Hi,
I don't have the tick-box in Cycles. I'm on 2.78c, I have my plane selection -> object properties cycle settings and there are options under performance (use camera cull / use distance cull), but they are greyd out, and there is no Shadow Catcher option. Please help!
Hi, thank you for your video, but this download link doesn't work anymore. It does not download the actual file. Have any advice?
For me, cycles setting is not there. How do I add it?
much respect to you bro
A dream this new feature. So simple to use, that I like it. I hope that a Mac version will appear soon?
Super super super thank you!!!
looks much easier.but is there anyway to darken the shadow to match with environment?
do those 3 hovering tabs in the node editor appear with the shadow catcher setting or can they be turned on??
Is there also something like a light catcher? For example to catch the glow of an emission plane that acts as a lightsaber. And if not where can I suggest something like that to the developers?
I have a node that can do everything but transfer reflections
Marcus_Mravik interesting.. .
How can I make an object mask other objects?
Great one thank you very much lad.
Is it working with caustics (ref, refraction)?
i was wait for this a long long long time!
I`m love it! and tutorial best in timeing !
Thank you :)
Great in cycles. But in blender internal?
That page or download does not exist anymore.. :(
it can be a stupid mistake, but i don't have the new options in the 2.78.3 version :/
I downloaded it from your link, same splash screen but no "Cycles settings" in object properties.. Hope to find a solution, looks so easy to use.
Did you change the render engine to cycles? :)
all I want to know is make darker shadows in a scene without turning up the brightness of a lamp
오늘도 좋은 영상이네요!!
he says "A good video today!" :|
Thank you for the pleasant video.
past half a year. still no update
I didnt find a mac version that provides this feature. Is there any experimental version for mac?
but sir cycles shadow is also not show in the blender 2.77a. please tell me how i can get it?
2.79 has it
thanku sir
With this method you can't control how dark you want the shadow to be.
You can render your shadow to an additional shadow pass. You can control the opacity of this pass as you overlay it on top of your original image.
wow!! Finally!
Thank you!
Great! Please include this in main release, or maybe addon.
It wil become available with Blender 2.8
Thanks!
Does it catch reflections?
It doesn't catch reflections or any other indirect bounces. As a physically accurate shadow catcher it would get 1/10 points since it actually catches environment light shadows. If you assign a material to the shadow catcher all reflections are black, treated as a shadow. I don't know how to work around this yet, which is honestly frustrating as it kinda defeats the point of PBR if your shadow catcher is so inaccurate.
blender.exe unable to start because .dll files missing on computer, any suggestions?
edit: problem fixed. If you extract the entire 7-zip to a new folder on desktop, the .exe should run.
edit: it works so well!!!!! This is magic, been waiting for this!
do you have good internet and could upload it? because the download link seems broken. it has a network error in the middle of the download..
So all the other files have some function after all...
I had to try it multiple times to finally get a complete download. I don't belong to any file sharing sites so I can't do it but keep trying, it's worth it. OR, I've heard that this feature will be available in the next version of Blender.
Molly Kaplan
I have tried the shadow catcher but has yet problems so better wait until the developpers fix it. Yes, it will be probably in blender 2.79
Molly Kaplan ok i tried it about 10 times but had no luck. i discovered that a recent blender build on the official site has also shadow catchers and i tried that version. i activated shadow catcher abd checked the transparent box. it worked. but it had some kind of white border around the shadow. thats dumb :/ :)
Magical! ;)
thank you
DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH I SPENT YESTERDAY AND TODAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE THE PLANE DISAPPEAR
can ju help me out?
can u help me out?
What do you need
my plane still shows up but transparent, after applying shadow catcher, unlike this video its tottaly gone...
Are you in cycles?
the link is broken
How about this feature for MAC users?
It should work for Mac users as well :)
The Digital M
It doesn't. That is why I can't wait for the next Blender update.
bist du deutsch
two minutes and you still don't show us! feels like a threat instead of a tutorial..
At last...
for those having trouble with mac: sell mac, buy a custom windows pc which is half as expensive but 8 times as powerful and a monitor, keyboard, mouse and mousepad and a good mic xD
You are right :)
The Digital M :^)
Build a computer and save money for the OS by installing Linux.
Ah the Windows circle jerk. I run Windows Mac and Linux at home and they all have pros and cons. Now get your useless flamebait crap out of here.
Mathias Lui idk WTF my brother be trying to force a Mac on me
näxt taim in tschörmann pließ
:D
Fuck, even at speed 2 this is unbearable to watch. Dude open the node editor and put this amazing material on a plane, you don't need to hold a lecture, it's not fucking rocket science.
