Rendering a Car Using an HDRI and a Backplate

_{Car rendered on an image plane using aiShadow Catcher node on the floor}

In this tutorial, you will learn how to render a car or any other object on top of a background image. We will cover how to render a shadow layer using the Ai Shadow Catcher node. We will go through lighting the scene with an HDRI. The HDRI and backplate have been kindly provided by Jeff Patton and can be downloaded for free.

We will break the process into several stages:

• Preparing the HDRI
• Creating the Shadow Matte
• Final Rendering

Why not try downloading the HDRI and backplate and have a go yourself!
