Shadows and reflection with camera tracking

 

How works live actors cast real-time shadows, reflection, refraction ? this shadows, reflections and refraction works with unreal sets and camera tracking for live events?

If you use an Unreal scene, currently you cannot use these yet. Soon we'll release the DE editions with a complete tracking support, then you'll be able to use billboards with tracking as well, thus you'll be able to generate shadows and reflection.

Hello - I'm using version DE Edition 2021.4.2

I'm tracking a physical camera with an actor on a green screen. I'm using the "TrackedCam_Unreal_Prev_3-Cam_3-Billboard.xcomp". My background is from Unreal Engine.

How can I generate shadows/reflections from my actor being filmed by the physical camera onto my virtual environment?

I'm been reading the docs/tutorials but I didn't find a way to do this.

Appreciate the help!
