During the rendering process using Maya software, many netizens render objects and shadows in layers. Then synthesize it in PS to achieve the final effect. So how does Maya implement layered rendering of volumes and shadows? The operating techniques are as follows.

First, create a new layer in Maya and add directional Light Shape1, pPlane1, and prop files (box is used as an example here).

Then move the props file and turn off the visible attribute.

Next is rendering. The rendering settings do not need to be changed, and the shadow is rendered from the camera angle.

The information of the rendered shadow in PS is 207

Finally, just combine the shadows and props in PS.

The above has explained the operating techniques for layered rendering of volumes and shadows in Maya. I hope friends in need can learn it.
