renderlayer is this right behavior?

[miohn]

Hi,

not sure if I'm doing something wrong here, but whats strange is,
when the sphere has a total transparent material (opacity = 0 = unvisible)
I get the shadows in renderpass. If the material is a colored glass I get no shadows.

Shoul'nd I get normally a yellowish shadow in renderpass "colored shadows"?
(Btw. I've watched all tutorials)

Is that correct?

thanks
Mike

Try with the camera visibility option disabled instead of reducing the opacity of the material

Hi beppe,

thanks!
Well, acts the same like opacity, but the question is:

why does the object needs to be invisible to cast shadows
and to get these shadows as renderlayer-shadow-pass?

This does not make much sense in my opinion.

thanks
MIke
