Here's another example, from the thread that started it all.
Robo2010 was trying to put a tank into a photo of a gas station.
Using the shadow catching feature, it produced a shadow. (Look behind the tank) But the rendered shadow was black. The real shadows are blue, and the two don't look enough the same to be believable.
I took his photo and (not having a tank) I used a sphere to demonstrate how it is possible to make the rendered shadow match.
I then published the first version of my shadow catcher.
Since then, I made a better one, and that is what is on my website.
If you want to read the original thread, here it is:
Shadow Color? (October 2007)
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
