Hi,

I'm trying to do some renders, and I'm running into an issue. What I basically have is Object A, Object B, a plane, and a light. The light shines down on Object A. Object A then casts a partial shadow on Object B, and both objects cast a shadow on the plane.

I'm working in Maya 7.0 and what I'd like to have when I am done is a series of renders that basically break down to this:

Object_A.color
Object_B.color
Object_A.selfShadows
Object_B.selfShadows
Object_A.castShadows
Object_B.castShadows

How can I accomplish this? I've tried varying combonations of layers and passes, but I have not been able to seperate the self-shadows from the cast shadows.

U can take out the receive shadow of Objects AB. That will make the objects just cast shadow only.

Did I miss your question??
