hi, Im new to rendering passes, so the problem I have is, a scene that has a tank on a ground plane, now I have rendered out the tank with an alpha seperate, the ground without a shadow and the ground again but with only shadow ON in render passes.
So when I brought them all into After Effects the shadow seems to be to light and the tank seems to be above the ground. I think I need to have a darker shadow but since the shadow pass's alpha is greyed I cant use any adjustments to darken the shadow.
Thsi is a rotating animation and I'm rendering out to .tiff with alpha.
So is there a way to darken the shadows being rendered in Maya?
Can I render the alpha of the shadow pass white so the shadow is compeltley black and I can simply lower opacity in After effects.
For AE users can you adjust the mask of multipel rendered frames in .tiff format, so I can darken the shadow further?
Any advice would be helpful thanks.
