Hi,
So I am fairly new to the renderer and have a couple of questions which I am hoping you guys could help me with.
I am trying to display a product on a white background whilst having shadows and a reflection on the floor. In C4D I would usually use the compositing tag with a background object in order to 'catch' shadows however this doesn't work with indigo.
I deleted the background object and then swapped to the built in environment settings and followed the tutorial on compositing with shadow pass: http://www.indigorenderer.com/documenta ... s-tutorial
So here are my questions.
1. Is there a way to just add a shadow catcher without having to composite afterwards as I would with the compositing tag normally?
2. How do I adjust the intensity of the RGB lights as i cannot find a control for them?
Im using the reinhard method and so i fear the light adjustments are not showing up, however if i change to linear or camera then the scene just goes black?
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
I unfortunately can´t tell you how to comp with Indigo or if its even possible.
Just a small note that you probably also know:
As reflections are comped additive you probably only will see them in shadow areas (when having a white background)
I at least might help you to set up a linear scene. e.G. getting things (near) overexposed:
The light sources are generally pretty weak. Therefore you get a black render when setting the global light mapping settings to linear. I have attached a scene with a linear output settings. Hopefully this will help you to at least answer some questions.
Edit:
Sorry was not aware that you also need the meshes that come extra... Exchanged the scene with hopefully now all assets!
Cheers,
Raphael

Silverwing, you have to save as .pigs to get all the files packed. Can't open the attached scene, unfortunately.

Re: Infinite White and Light Intensity
Also, unfortunately it is not currently possible to use the shadow catcher without compositing.
