UseBackground Shader
For a character I want to also have his shadows rendered/either with him or seperate.
He sits infront of two planes.
I put usebackground shader on these two planes and turned his visibility to o, reflections, etc off.
But this is what I get in Alpha... Is this how you are supposed to render to isolate shadows?

if I just drop the mip_matteshadow onto the background and hide my character, it will give me just my shadows?
I'll try that.
