Shadow Pass Problem

Hello,

I'm working on a project which I send to after effects for final composing.

For my final render I need to take: 4 alpha passes (object ID 2, 3, 4 and 5), post pass, refraction pass, Z depth, and Shadow pass for only the ID objects 2 and 3.

The way octane render shadow pass I think is very limited, because I can't do everything on one render.

I need to render the whole scene for the alpha, post, refraction and Z.

Then I need to change ID 3 objects into ID 2, and render layer of the ID 2 (2+3) so I get the shadow pass. So if I would need 10 hours to render the whole scene, I have to double the time in order to take one extra pass.

In Cinema 4D we can render shadow pass of the whole scene. I hope you can add this feature on octane in a future.

Cheers.
