Hi all,

Is there a way to make the ground plane invisible when rendering YET still render the eco system that is on the ground plane?

For example, I am trying to composite small bushes & grass patches over an image.

The bushes are created via Eco system on a plane. If I "hide" the Plane, the eco system hides as well.

  Basically, I am trying to get the same results that you would Using MAYA . In Maya you would assign a "USE BACKGROUND SHADER" to the plane making the plane transparent and only showing the shadows.

Thanks,

lou
