// DESCRIPTION: 
// Produces dependency graph node ShadowMatte

// This node will create a matte/mask through the transparency output, only in areas that are in the shadow of a light.

// You can optionally use a boolean input to see where the shadow areas are in the color channels instead of the mask.

// The output attributes of the ShadowMatte node are called "outColor" and "outTransparency". To use this shader, 
// create a ShadowMatte node with Shading Group or connect its output to a Shading Group's "SurfaceShader" attribute. 
//
