It is great to have that option and fine if you are adding a plain background in postwork. If it is an image to be used as a background then matching the light direction and colour make it more difficult although not impossible.

Cool! How a link? What I currently do is to render the shadows in a separate layer in FF, and them combine it with the SF render in postwork.
Hey Ken, it's not on Snarly's site. The latest version he has is 1.2, but one of the guys on the SM Poser Forum uploaded it to his Dropbox because folks in France and Italy couldn't get to Snarly's site because his IP was being banned over there, and not just his site, every site his IP hosts. Weird.
Anyway, you can get find a link to the download here --> Snarly's EZDome Script with Shadow Catcher

I can't find any script there for the shadow catcher.
Or was EZ Dome updated to have it included?

Awesome, thanks! I use EZDome a lot, and didn't know it had been updated. I can reach Snarly's site alright, so I could get it directly. Can't wait to give it a try! ^____^
I understand it's now part of EZDome in version 1.2.

Great!
I just downloaded it and will update mine, thanks.

Rae is correct. The version on Snarly's site is version 1.2 and it's an old build. The one Y-Phil uploaded is Build 065, so definitely the newest version.
Snarly made it public domain, so anyone can use it to create add-ons or similar scripts, which I know have been done.

Ooh, so it's version 1.5 that has it then. Thanks for clarifying! ^^
I always do at least one render with the Visible in Camera unchecked on the IDL Sphere and any other objects in the background when I do mask renders. It's much easier and quicker than trying to create a mask in Photoshop from a full render. I will also create mask renders with the objects in the background Visible in Camera and just the IDL Sphere not Visible in Camera. If I have foreground plants, I'll do at least one mask render with only those Visible in Camera. The number of render masks I do depends on the complexity of the scene.
It can sometimes result in the visible stuff being a bit brighter, but generally, I'm only using the masks as a "template" in photoshop. Although, sometimes, I'll use them as an overlay with opacity at 50% or less.
This also works if you're using other spheres or domes for your background.

Purple lady in red! This is Dawn with CatsEyes, and my [WIP] succubus outfit. Rendered in Poser with Superfly. Had to remodel and re-rig the shorts, and today I have resolved the scaling issues with the tail. The staff and armor are from other outfits. Used the good'ol HSV node to make the purple skin. 
I celebrated submitting the Deirdre products to HiveWire by ... playing with a potential new character.
Meet Kiera.
Origin of the name Kiera: Feminine form of Kieran, an Anglicized form of the Irish Ciarán, which is derived from the Gaelic ciar (black) and the diminutive suffix -an: hence, "little dark one." The name was originally bestowed upon those babies born with dark hair or a dark complexion.

Love it! Quite an exotic character, Satira!
