pwCatch and Iray

Ati

Hi,

I've just bought pwCatch, and following the tutorial at http://poseworks.com/shaders/pwcatch

When I render an image in 3Delight, it works fine:



However, when I render the same image in Iray, it no longer works:



The pwCatch shaders are under the "Default" category, not under Iray, so that explains why the Iray version looks like it does.

My question is: can this product be made to work with Iray? If it can, how?

Thanks,

Ati2

pwCatch is a custom 3Delight shader, so it won't work at all in IRay.

That's too bad. :( Is there a similar solution for Iray?

The ground plane in Iray is a shadow catcher without anything else required.

The "ground" should work in this case, for other cases where you need a shadow catcher check this:

Hmm, it is... Turns out to be a pretty stupid question then... 

Thanks! :)

There is no such thing as a stupid question, there are only experts who have forgotten what it was like when they were a newbie.

Cheers,
