I am trying to get a shadow pass (hair on scalp)... and I need to isolate the hair shadows on the scalp... so I am doing a -rp shadow, but this also outputs the scalps self shadows... is there a way to turn this off?

I need to work with the hair shadows in post/comp, so I am basically just trying to get an isolated pass of them... I have tried the useBackground shader.

How else could I just isolate the hair shadows?

mip_matteshadow in maya2008 can get shadows with no self shadowing on the receiving object. See this thread (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=87&t=541718)
