You need to enable Kernel->Alpha Channel for the shadow passes to work. https://docs.otoy.com/#51Render%20Layer%20Passes

Thanks Paul, But how do you do it in 3dsmax octane plugin ?

The same as in standalone.

You assign the different render-layers to objects of interest.

Enable the render layers and set the needed active layer (what exactly - depends on what result you need).

Get some result.

Change the active layer if you need the different result.

Thanks Jim for explaination.
Hopefully octane is real time, so we can test easily different parameters.
