Shadow Catcher and Reflections - Polyloop

mykyl1966 · 22nd January 2006, 02:14

Is there a way to use reflections alongside shadow catcher. e.g. I have a photo and the road is wet so slight reflection would be seen. However although I can set up a shadow catcher I cannot get reflections or bumps to show so it looks unreal having this dry patch below my character.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong. Perhaps it cant be done.

Cheers

total guess, never tried.

could you place a clear plane over the road area with a reflective amount in its shader ?
