3DMax Daylight shadow/matt pass problem

#1

Hi,

I have such problem.

Here’s the example of the scene:

I’ve used mr Sky Portal and rendered it with Mental Ray (Final Gather and GI ON).

I also rendered Diffuse and Shadow pass, and everything worked ok.

But, my aim is to render the same image with Matte/Shadow/Reflection Material on the ground plane. (For later compositing on to Video footage)

So that what I get.

  1. Rendered picture - Ok

Here’s an Alpha channel for it. And first problem is that it doesn’t have the area with reflected light in the front of the cube.

  1. Shadow Pass - Fail (just empty RGB and empty Alpha channels)

  2. Diffuse Pass - Fail (Some glitches + Shadow pass)

    And basically the alpha channel for Diffuse pass is the same as for Render

So really I can’t make it work at all. I’ve tried with different lights (Phonometric, Daylight, Standard lights), with FG and GI off, different materials(Standart and Mental Ray) . But still the same result, Diffuse contains shadow pass and Shadow pass sometimes has some information, but mostly it’s glitches.

Does anyone can suggest the way to make it work?

I also want to ask about this - Which Pass should I use to render this part separately from others? (I will remind that on Renderer and Diffuse pass the alpha didn’t contain this area)

Thanks,

But it doesn’t do anything with passes.

If I’m rendering everything as a single pass, it goes well.
The problem occurs only with separating the passes.
