Render Shadow off invisible object in playblast and render

[Anonymous]

Hello I have to make a shadow theater and I want to cast shadow from 3D objects to a plane.

The goal is to render the shadow without seeing the objects in front of it.

I don't have mental ray or v-ray... just the basic maya hardware 2.0, maya software and maya vector as options to render.

I tried to uncheck Primary visibility in the Attribute editor>Render Stats and it didn't work.

Any idea on how to make it work?

Hi!

Primary Visiblity "off" + Maya Software Renderer works here and should work for you too.

You can't do this with Hardware Rendering.

Primary Visiblity "off" + Maya Software Renderer + checking on the raytracing option in the render settings.

Thanks for the help @mspeer
