Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 26 8:04 pm)
Subject: In Superfly: casting a shadow
Shadow catcher doesn’t work in poser 11 SF. In P12 there were issues, but I don’t remember what they were and my poser computer dies so I can’t check. If you render over a background shader rather than a sphere it works fine in the same manner as firefly.
If you want to use Ezdome it has its own shadow catcher that it can setup

I will take a look at EZDome again. I usually don't mess with any of the settings, so I will check that out.Shadow catcher doesn’t work in poser 11 SF.

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
Just in case you need some explanations by Snarly himself: see his video.

And just in case you'd like to use Poser12's background node, you may use a PoserSurface's "Shadow_catch_only" mode on a round ground plane, using the show settings:

All I can find is that it says it's build 49, so apparently, I have an older version?
Snarly's website is suspended in the link there, so I don't even know where to get the latest version that will work with Poser 11...

OK . . . Where's my chocolate?
The last versions for Poser11 and Poser12 are on cobrablade.net, precisely.All I can find is that it says it's build 49, so apparently, I have an older version?

Since I can't get a shadow in my version of Poser 11, I decided I would have to do some post work to get one in there. I will have to do another render of this without the ezdome and get the shadow on the ground or use one of the planes in the primitive folder.
I changed the pose because I didn't like what her right hand was doing.

I want to use the ground to capture the shadow of my figure, and have it appear to be on the background image in EZDome.
But I can't figure out how to do it. I know I pulled it off once in Poser 8, by ticking the shadow catch only and some other thing I saw someone posted in here years back.
How would I do it in Superfly?
Here is the image I am trying to do that with.
