"Shadow Catcher", part 1 (english)

Xavier Mestres Sep, 21st 2012 0 Comments
In many projects we need to integrate our 3D objects on 2D background images. For example we have a 2D image of a landscape, where we integrate a 3D building model. To perform the integration, we need our 3D objects cast realistic shadows on the 2D image. With "Shadow Catcher" we can do this, easily, both for still images, and animations.
