Greetings all, this is no ordinary shadow catcher question. I have already read everything the Carrara Manual has to say on the subject.

My question is this:

How do I make my cast shadows less intense?
I don't want totally black shadows, I want some of the backdrop image to show through.

The manual does say: "The surface you apply to the Shadow Catcher object provides the color and transparency levelof the shadow." However I have tried changing transparency and colour and always get black shadows. Maybe you have the answer. If so, would appreciate your wisdom.

Cheers.
