I'm not very familiar with layers yet, but it would really help if I could render a TG scene with an object present, but hidden from camera (I don't need it, just it's shadow), and only it's shadow showing on the ground. Is there a way to do this? I'm rendering the object in another program and will composite.

just set render to invisible in the object settings. THe shadows will render, but the object will not... I just tested it and it works in TG3.
