Render passes reflection and shadows not working

[Micha3D]

Hi,

I use the direct lighting kernel, but also at the other kernels this passes are empty. Any idea what is wrong?

Ciao,

Sorry Micha - I do not understand your question.

A necessary pre-condition for shadows and reflection passes to work is setting up some render layers. Have a look at this section of the manual.

cheers,

You also need Kernel->Alpha Channel enabled to get the shadow pass.

... doesn't work here. See my screenshots, the big part is metallic at the beauty pass.

May I suggest having a read of viewtopic.php?f=51&t=44350 and viewtopic.php?f=51&t=44267. If you are doing shadow passes, you will need to assign part of the geometry in the scene to a different layer - and for that you need a version of the OctaneRender for Rhino plugin which is later than the demo version. This feature has only recently been added.

Should use path-tracing or PMC kernel.

Wow, that's complex for a beginner. At Vray I enable the output channels I need and than they are rendered. Looks like Octane can do more, but there is no easy one-click solution.
