How to Make a Shadow Catcher in Cycles and Eevee (Blender Tutorial)

You lost me at Node Wrangler addon? I wish someone would make a tutorial without all these keyboard shortcuts. Just show me the button!

THAK YOU!

Your tutorials are so good thank you!

wowowowow
i thought we cannot apply shadow catcher in eevee , thanks a lot

the ultimate eevee shadow catcher solution video

Thank you very much for this tutorial, it very HELPED.

waste of time

Bro Help me. I made some motion capture and add a animated character. But the character shadow is not showing in the rendered view. The background video and the character is showing only. 😢

very simple and helpful! thanks

I find this content very helpful. I was using 3ds max for a long time and is not as easy as Blender to setup the matte shadow. Thanks!

OF COURSE Blender moves shadow catcher in 3.4 - I swear to god every release they change where everything is

This THE best tutorial out there thanks a loooot

I watched in a video where someone bakes Cycles shadow, cause its more realistic and using it in Evee, can you kindly make a tutorial on that too?

This is one of the best tutorials i ever found! Its short, clear and absolutly usefull! Thank you so much!

If i follow this tutorial from scratch, all works fine, but when i tried with a project i already have, shadows not rendered. Maybe i have changed something, but i can't find what

hi there ) good idea ) i'm also improved a bit
for the case if an objects are close to the plane
result looks more realistic
just multiplied Diffuse to RGB & Ambient Occlusion.. and use result as a factor

thanks I was wondering if it could be done on eevee too but thanks to your tutorial it was super easy I thought it was harder😅 im a noob

hej Ryan! Is it possible to convert a shadow to a texture? Shadow on the object, not on another object. For example: shadow as a wave texture.

Excellent Thank you!

Simple and clear. Very useful. Thanks

problem with this is that the Box doesnt receive AO information, when AO is turned on, i have noticed that. im trying to find a way to have the box in this case also receive AO

Important! You need to work with light, not emission planes, for this to work.

only me man, literally followed every step an watched 4 times an it doesnt work for evee lol

I want some objects to stay in the same area eevee some of them cycle, how can I do that

tq so much

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH YOU ARE INCREDIBLE CAN I HUG YOU?!

To make this work in evee i had to multiply the shader to rgb by 0.5 but now it works fine!

thank you for this excellent info!

Super helpful! I'll never understand why as soon as we set the values to transparent those ticks to use the transparency don't just automatically turn on...

Could you make a tutorial on how to use the new shadow catcher node? I'm trying to get a colored reflection from the shadow caster itself and also make the background transparent.

this should just be a one click solution like in cycles!

I don't get why its still so hard to get a shadow catcher in Eevee???

But how to avoid self shadow cast of the shadow catcher :(

Thanks for the tutorial!

found the node tree, set the light to 8......I still see the plane.

got the template. Cant access the part that lets you create a global background color.

Hello Ryan, ... your video is just ... saving my life ! :-) Thank you soooo much !!!!

Thank you

Great video! This evee shadow scheme needs to be simplified!

super,thx..Especially for using in Evee..

got to reduce to .75 speed to follow. Still think too many steps to achieve a simple thing though!

thank you for the explanation

gold :D

I love the shadow catcher feature but it needs a lot of work. The shadows are way to dark as opposed to the way they look without the SC on. Denoising without workarounds doesn’t work on them either. Any idea on how to tackle these issues properly?🙏🏽

Thank you for another very helpful tutorial!
