    C4D shadows into Photoshop

    Posted by Paul Puglisi on April 18, 2011 at 7:14 pm

    Hi,

    I’m trying to incorporate 3D text made in C4D into a still image in photoshop. The goal is to make the text look at though its apart of the environment of the still, complete with reflections and shadows. I was going to fudge the shadows with the paint tools in photoshop but I was wondering if there was a way to take shadows created in C4D from the text and render them so that it’s just the text and the text’s shadow. Would this require a tag of some sort?

    Thanks!

    You’ll want to read in the help document about multipass rendering. It’s what you need to do to get full control over your renders.
