Hello!

I'm new here, and I have a simple question,
How can I see the shadow of my car in fire with a HDRI environment?
(without a plane visible I mean ) :oops: :oops: :oops:

There is no direct way to do this, it is a composting process in Maxwell:

Maybe you can do it with the "embed channels" option.

It'd be nice to have an option to catch the reflections and caustics on the floor too, without having to put a plane under the car.

I've put a post in the feature request.
