Alpha shadow

[dmoya]

Hi, I wonder if the shadow octane accepts alpha.
Example: shadow.png

Thank

sunlight doesn't cast alpha shadows yet. Try it with an HDRI or something and it will.

You must use pathtracing and have alphashadows enabled in the preview kernel.

That is not true. Alpha shadows work with daylight.

Is true,

thank

[dmoya]

one more question. I can use an octane video? and if you can I recognize the alpha channel?

thank you very much for your time

I'm sorry but I don't understand what do you mean.

If you want to save your renders with alpha channel, then you must enable it in the preview kernel.

I want to know is if I can put a video as a texture

you might want to look into something like youveelizer for AE and then export a normal map for it from your modeling tool ( assuming you're using the export from your modeling tool to get your camera position )
