Matte material and render layers

[electric_eric]

I'm trying to use the 'matte' option in the diffuse material node as a shadow catcher on a ground plane.

This works fine when I render without render layers but if I just want to render the shadow catcher ground plane on its own layer the render comes out blank.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Sorry, I had forgotten to check this issue. Yes, I think that I can reproduce this problem, but I'm not sure why happens. I'll try to reproduce the same problem in Standalone and ask about it to the Octane developers.

Thanks,

This problem was indeed a bug in Octane. It will be fixed for the next build.

Thanks for reporting this issue.
