Reflection Catcher, Refraction Catcher, and Shadow Catcher
Reflection Catcher
The Reflection Catcher integrates virtual objects into real-world environments by capturing their reflections. This ensures virtual elements reflect accurately on surfaces like floors, tables, or glossy backgrounds, enhancing realism. Adjustable parameters such as intensity and blurriness allow you to fine-tune reflections to match your production’s lighting and material properties.
Refraction Catcher
The Refraction Catcher adds realism by simulating how virtual objects interact with transparent or translucent materials. It renders refractions through materials like glass, water, or crystals, blending virtual and physical elements naturally. This tool is particularly effective in scenes featuring windows, bottles, or any material where light distortion enhances the visual effect.
Shadow Catcher
The Shadow Catcher ensures virtual objects are anchored in the real-world scene by capturing their shadows on physical surfaces. Shadows adapt to the environment’s lighting and perspective, adding depth and realism. With adjustable thresholds, blurriness, and resolution settings, the Shadow Catcher provides precise control while maintaining visual integrity.
By leveraging the Reflection Catcher, Refraction Catcher, and Shadow Catcher, creators can seamlessly blend virtual and real-world elements, delivering photorealistic results that captivate audiences. These tools are essential for virtual production, augmented reality, and visual effects in industries like film, TV, and live events.
