Shadow casting trick for geom in Action.

[spetz]

hi y’all.

in continue to – http://www.fxguide.com/postt2403.html , I have another Q:

I am working on a nice trick to create a good and realistic shadow (lightning and prospective wise), to Geom in Action.

It involves adding another camera and placing it in the position of the main lightning source, then, rendering a shadow pass from that POV. (adding it to the comp afterwards)

according to my speculation it should work but I didn’t manage to pull it through. 🙁 can someone assist in any way.

cheers, spetz.

I guess you are talking about the above image produced with inferno.

You can get the batch setup from:

Thanks to Danny Yoon, for his set of 3d inferno hacks. Danny showed us this at the year 2002 with inferno 4.6, and we still want to see see this in an upcoming version of inferno.
