Hi
Does anyone know if it's possible to create an infinite plane like the one in VRay?
Thanks

no, but create big enough for the light to reach and put fallof mat on it - You'll probably have the effectYou're looking from infinate plane =)

I don't use Vray, but Octane does not have this feature.
However, there are some things you can do.
1. Try making a plane that has a gradual slope up behind the camera. A lot of the time, this will look like an infinite plane.
2. Make a plane to rest your object on and use a diffuse material and set it to "matte" in the material settings. This will make it a shadow catcher, make sure the plane is large enough to catch the entire shadow.. Then simply photoshop in a solid color below it.
