All information is in the description!

I thought I’d make a little video about the method I prefer for compositing in blender with cycles in order to get proper looking shadows. In case you missed it in the video (I know I was talking a little quickly), here’s the layout of which objects are where:

Layer 1: Objects you want to see
Layer 2: Objects you want to catch shadows
Both layer 1 & 2: Lights and camera

Render Layer 1: Takes Layer 1
Render Layer 2: Takes Layer 2
Render Layer 3: Takes layer 2, excludes layer 1
