Exporting Shadows for animation
Posted: Sun May 17, 2015 9:37 pm
I'm not sure how to export shadows for an animation. I've watched inlifethrills great tutorials for the render passes, but I can't get shadows to appear in the live viewer as effortlessly as he does. 
I believe I have followed everything he does... I just see a white screen when I click on the shadows option. Exporting with multipass enabled also gives me a white screen.
In his tutorial (Part 3 - Multi-Pass Rendering with Octane Render for Cinema 4D - Render Layer - https://vimeo.com/119848103 ), he exports the multipasses to photoshop for more compositing flexibility. I'm just looking to get the animated shadows out of my scene for compositing in after effects/nuke, what is the simplest way to achieve this?
Kernel settings:
Here are my settings in Render layer.
When I just look at shadows I see a white image. No shadows are visible:
I've added an octane object tag to the cube and the floor, both on object layer 1.
Project details: Cinema R15, Octane 2.32.1
Scene: 1 cube, 1 light and floor. I'm still a beginner (recently upgraded from 1.54 to 2.32.1) and I'm not sure what to look at to fix my issue.
Thanks, any advice is much appreciated.
