What have you changed in the node setup? (show images) What are you getting now as result? What does the mask look like. It is easier to troubleshoot the results of nodes by using a viewer node and plug it at different stages of the node tree and see the results of every particular operation, and not only the result of an equation with many variables. To help you better you have to help as well and share updates and changes in an active way. | |

| Jan 5, 2021 at 21:20 | comment | added | JordanGarlandMI | @susu The shadow catcher layer requires the ear in order to cast the shadow doesn't it? Anytime I delete it it deletes it from the other view layer as well for some reason. Also how do I multiply shadow catcher opacity, a gamma node? | |
| Jan 5, 2021 at 20:57 | comment | added | susu | Also layers with alpha channel should be combined using the alpha over, and use the mask as fac. Also try multiplying the shadow catcher opacity. | |
| Jan 5, 2021 at 20:55 | comment | added | susu | The view layer for the shadow catcher should not have the ear, just the shadow catcher. | |
