compositor - Add color to shadow catcher - Blender Stack Exchange
whatever do, can't figure out how change color of shadows.
i using "shadow catcher" feature in v.2.79 , have object , shadow catcher on separate layers.
i tried adding additional sun blueish tint , hdri images environment maps both colored object, not shadow. also, tried use mix node shadow layer , blueish color inputs, looked weird. compositing render onto background video.
the final render looks this:
(also reason shadow lighter in render preview).
here composite node graph:
hopefully can fixed, happy input :)
the shadow catcher shader designed return whole appearance of shader in alpha channel. can see when rendering shadow catching object, , switching display rgba rgb (discarding alpha channel information):
normal rgba display mode:
only rgb channels, entirely black:
only alpha channel:
now add color shadows, you'll need work on rgb components, alpha blending factor between foreground , background. can use simplified setup started:
so i'm feeding alpha channel of shadow catcher layer set alpha node, allows me define different rgb components there. in setup, went cheap , simple solid dark blue color, color corrected background image bluish tint in there.
further examination
for further explanation , render layer setup, check out .blend file here:
