Hi all

I desparately need help to render this file, my manuals are at home!!!

There is a bhodinut gradient on the floor, a stack of hearts and an omni with soft shadow in the scene.

I want to end up with a layered photoshop file with the gradient b/g in tact in case I have to change it. I want the hearts and the shadow to fit seamlessly onto this b/g

As always, your help is appreciated.

Hmm...Mmm...I'm not sure but we can separate shadow and specular in multi-pass rendering. So the problem may become how to separate the hearts from the floor, maybe. Object buffer is not usable for such many objects as the hearts, but what about instances? :hmm:

maybe i missed this.....so not sure about this but if you just want the background why don't you just render without the hearts?

Hi Hiroshi,

Object buffering does work fine with instances, which gives you one alpha for all the hearts together. Although I have to agree with flingster: it's much more straightforward to render only the hearts, an put in the gradient in PS.

Hi, BaRa. Thanks. Ok, the simpler, the better. So we have a shadow layer, a layer of only the floor and that of only the hearts. All right, BaRa and Steve?:rolleyes:
