    Hi guys!

    I’m trying to render out shadows ONLY cast on a wall from text. I don’t want to see the wall or the text, just the shadows. I’ve tried using a compositing tag on the wall, no luck. Help!

    Use Compositing tag on the object that u want to hide i.e. the text in your case .. and uncheck seen be camera in the compositing tag.

    Here’s a sample file :

    In that case if you want to hide the wall also u can try rendering a shadow pass from cinema and composite it later in AE or some other compositing program …

    There might be another way to do it but i m not aware of that ..
