Shadows
I have a clip of video that I am adding a CG model to and need to render out shadows in a second pass so I can composite everything together in Shake. I knew how to do this in Electric Image but C4D is different. It this easy to do in C4D?
Thanks,

Enable multipass rendering and add the shadows ass a separate pass to the list.

O very cool. Late last night I went to the Maxon Website and I saw a tutorial on the shadow in the FAQ section. That seemed to work but adding it to the multipass rendering sounds like a better way. When I went to bed last night I started my render which took 6 hours to finish and now when I get up in the mornign I need to render the shadow pass. So by usign MultiPass it would have taken care of everything and I wouldn;t have to render out a second time this mornign then???
Thanks!

Yupp, looks like you have to go thru it all. Unfortunately C4D does not store any temp images on its own.

You might be able to speed up the rerender by deleting any slow-rendering textures/materials and/or rendering at a smaller size and upsampling in Shake.

Good Idea, thanks.
