Is there a way or a material available in octane that can catch an object's shadow without a visible ground plane? Thx.

This shader was asked for so many times.
I hope it will come soon.

Is it *THAT* difficult to increase the alpha of the pixel each time it receives the photon?...

I don't think it is hard to embed
Now that instancing is ready and the optimisation for kepler is almost done there is time for important features like this:
shadow catcher material, sunlight through glass and motion blur. Lets hope it comes soon.
