I have used the "shadow catcher" method and either get the "floating" that the preset "drop shadow" gives me or I get my vehicle sunk in the white of the catcher. I have seen this problem for years and still no resolve. I figure you guys must have a workaround. Does everyone use Photoshop or a separate stand alone rendering package?

This morning I have been trying the renderer. I would much prefer to work within Shark but the results I get vary in quality. Art Shark FX 10.6

The only exception that I can see is the the interactive sections. Version 2.3 has sections but I am not sure they are as interactive as the acrobat ones unless you have acrobat pro on the receiving machine. But, all in all, I am very happy with it. I have the rendering version ($149) but I assume that all you would need is the pdf version ($99) Pretty good price compared to 3d acrobat. Art Shark FX 10.6
