This page provides information about the Shadow Render Element in V-Ray for Cinema 4D.
Overview
The Shadows Render Element works as a reverse mask for shadows. It is a color image that can be used to lighten, darken or tint shadows. Shadows can be lightened in the composite by adding this render element, or darkened by subtracting this render pass from the final composite.
The Shadow render element is the product of multiplying the Raw Shadow Render Element with the Diffuse Filter Render Element in the composite.
