I'm stuck, i'm trying to only show shadows on a ground plane. I have seen a tutorial where he selects the matte on defuse to only show shadows on a plane, but this seems to not be in the octane defuse options.
I'm wondering how to only project shadows on a plane when using a hdri as the background ? sorry for the newbie question

Hi, create a diffuse material and just check "matte" in common parameters.

put your material to your plane.
