UseBackground Material


I was wondering how to create images with "invisible" floor - meaning you cannot see where the floor ends, there are no walls, the image background is all of the same color, but you can still see the shadows objects cast on the floor. In my opinion, this gives an instant professional and clean look to the shot.

It also saves a lot of work on set layout :)

I asked in an Israeli animation forum how to do that and got my answer: Using the "UseBackground" material which Maya supplies.
