Karma XPU, Matt Shadow catcher Dec. 11, 2023, 5:52 p.m.
tomtmI agree that it is essential that Karma needs a Shadow Catcher, Pixar has one with their USD render engine, so it is possible with Karma, I think all current render engines have a Shadow Catcher, you just need it integrated with the Beauty pass, not just in a Shadow pass.Tser
When I set the render engine to XPU the render takes quite a bit longer than CPU, and I don't think you can get the same effect as a shadow matte (Shadow Catcher) with an environment light hdri, unless this ability is hidden somewhere.
I think it would be essential for later compositing where you load the background footage.
It would be cool to have a ShadowCatcher Material.

Has anyone been able to get a shadow catcher functionality in Houdini 20, or is it the same as 19.5?
