Does anyone have a reliable custom shadow catcher node setup? Mine is good for smaller scenes, but every time I render a bigger one, for some reason the computer goes into deadlock, it has happened multiple times so far. It’s really annoying.
Here’s the node setup I’ve been using this whole time:
There is a proper shadow catcher shader in the buildbot builds now, probably easiest just to use that: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.79/Cycles
My setup there works very well.

Yeah, but:
It is to be noted that shadow catcher objects will interact with other CG objects via indirect light interaction. For example, shadow catcher will be reflected in the glossy surfaces.
I predict this will cause a lot of grief.
The ray visibility switches still work for shadow catchers. Just disable any you don’t want, as you would any other object.
