Re: Creating shadow from Green Screened person mapped onto a plane

Hi Bob,

When 3D Invigorator sets up the lighting, it takes the shape of the object to cast the reflection. So, even though we are using techniques to mask the shape of the plane, the projected shadow will still be the plane.

One alternative you may look into is that if you keep the green screen set separate from your 3D scene, you can cast shadows in your 3D scene, while not casting shadows in the green screen set. This way, things look realistic in your scene, and you will not get the shadow of the plane.

Best,
Edward
