[SOLVED] Transparent, but shadows are cast on it

[angus]

Hi. I'd like to have a surface with some odd properties and I was wondering if it is possible. It would be a plane which was transparent but (critically) shadows cast on it are non-transparent.

 

The idea is to save out an image and composite it in a separate package but have the Player/Actors able to cast shadows.

 

Is it possible?

Hello Angus,

We do not have a material out-of-the-box that allows you to render shadows over transparent object.

May I ask you for a reference? A video with desired effect would be great.

Thanks.

Hi morbid. Thanks for the response. I knew it was a long-shot. I'll content myself with a decal or something for now. Cheers.
