Shadow Catching

[e3di]

Hi

I am trying to do images with alpha shadows/background. I was hoping to use the shadow catching function but I cannot find it in the plugin version of Octane. Is it available? If not is there a way to save the ocs file out and open it in the standalone? I have tried doing a save ocs but it just crashes.

Another way I thought was using multipass(the way do it usually) but Octane doesn't seem to save out the object IDs.

Any ideas/tips would be really appreciated.

Cheers

Neil

i hope that's usefull for you. And Octane has not direct support most multipasses, plugin uses standart renderer.
