The Shadow Render Element is a color image that works as a reverse mask for shadows and can be used to lighten, darken or tint shadows. Shadows can be lightened in the composite by adding this pass, or darkened by subtracting this render pass from the final composite.

The Shadows render element is the product of multiplying the Raw Shadow Render Element with the Diffuse Render Element in the composite.

Note: Specific objects can be excluded from this Render Element by disabling the Generate Render Elements option in the V-Ray Object Properties for the selected object(s).UI Path: ||out Network||> V-Ray Render Elementsnode > V-Ray > Render Channel > V-Ray Color Channel (RE) > Type > Shadow
