Hi guys, so I currently have a environment sphere setup which has a flat bottom being used as a ground plane – now normally I’d use a surface shader to apply the HDRI texture to the “sky” so that it stays unaffected by directional lighting, but I also wants shadows to cast on the ground (I’ve tried aishadowmatte but it seems this is only intended for AR).
Here’s an image of what I mean^ essentially I need the “lightless” functionality of a surface shader, but also the ability to cast shadows on the ground – I know these are opposing ideas, and I tried the aiShadowMatte, but it didn’t work out. Any ideas?
I can get the aishadowmatte to project a shadow – but it projects it onto full transparency, penetrating all meshes behind it (revealing the aiskydome) – in this scene, I have a skysphere that I’d like visible under it, is this possible?
Hi, sorry for not getting back sooner but I was working on something else for a bit – I’ve tried setting the surfaceshader to opaque but i’m getting the same problem :( – any other ideas?
