- To render just the shadows, try placing objects in the following manner:
- Light source -----> Plants -----> Camera -----> (Shadows)
- I don't know if this will create the effect you are looking for, but it will
- show you just the shadows... You are no longer looking at the plants from the
- front. The camera stays where it is, aimed in the same direction, but the
- plants get moved toward the light source (behind the camera) so they are no
- longer in sight.
-
- I hope this helps you a little!
