Hey everyone,

I am trying to create a shadow pass for only one object (red torus), but the shadow of that object gets partially blocked by another object (yellow plane).
Is there a way to remove that shadow?

Example setup:



Light from the left.
Grey plane has a shadowmatte material.
Torus and yellow plane are phantom objects.

I want the torus shadow as a separate shadowpass.
Yellow plane should block the shadow of the torus but not cast shadow itself.



This is the result I get:



This is the result I want:




I tried removing the yellow plane from the shadows (Render Visibility: “-shadow”) but then I receive this:



Does anyone have an idea how this could be solved?
Thank you for your time!
