Cycles Shadow Only

Support Modeling

v2.78
I need a plane which accepts shadows cast upon it, but isn’t visible itself in a render.

I’ve found several posts on just this subject, but they either point to older versions or don’t really work.

I can find the setting in the object panel for Ray Visibility, but as suggested if I turn the camera setting off the object disappears and I get no shadow. What other setting am I missing?

Thanks.

You need to do it in post - shadow catcher alone isn’t available yet in cycles.

Ah, have I been trying to apply Blender settings to Cycles?
In this instance I can use Blender. I tend to use Cycles as default. Should have thought of that.

This option now is found in the same area under Cycles Settings. I found it out a few hours ago! :wink:
