guys! if you using newer version of Maya, Shadow Catcher has changed to Shadow Matte, it's still in the shader tab, and the basic concept is the same as the video, but you don't need to do that extra two steps now. Still, this is a excellent tutorial! Very well explained
Nice, and what if you are catching the lights, is there a shader for that?
Thanks , very informative <3
Thx!

Hypershader>Arnold>shader>surface>ai shadow catcher
do you know how to make thr plane opaque im 3dsmax?
Hey so in previous maya versions, one would use the "Use Background" shader and it also masked whatever went through it. Lets say character's foot goes through the ground the foot wouldnt be visible or it would seem to go into the ground. This shadow catcher shader doesnt do any of that. I cant seem to get use background shader to work with arnold, do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for sharing__ ♥
Hi great tutorial but i didn't see aiShadowCatcher in my PC.(Maya 2017, student version)
Need your help!
Thanks
Can you use this Shadow catcher to also catch floor reflections?
Great tutorial. Do you know of any way to add reflections to the shadowcatcher material?
Great tutorial…. another tip… Try and match the lights to what is going on in the cleanplate (background). If the shadows are casting in a specific direction, make sure your lights do the same.
This tutorial is great, however, I do have one question, how do I see my footage in the render?
how to remove the Watermark from the batch render with Arnold??
thank you too much
put i have a problem ….when i load a plane to the camera and render its looks too bright how i make my color management right
i use maya 2016 and arnold

Thanks for this helpful tutorial
This tutorial is great! Thank you man!
simple question, will you time your focal length if you we're using a camera that is not 35mm film back? for example, I have a sony a6300, it is a-spc camera, in photography world we usually x1.5 to know the "real focal length. Thank you!
