    hello!! does anybody knows how can i render only the shadows?
    i’ve got some “area” type shadows and i want to render them without the objects that project them and without the floor and wall where are projected
    …thanks!

    If I understand this right… you can render a multipass with “shadow” checked. It will give you a matte of just the shadow. When it renders you can view the render pass of the shadow channel in the pictures / render window. Another thing you may or may not want to enable is a compositing tag with Self shadow disabled if you don’t want the shadows casted on your geometry.
