<div dir="ltr">Hey Sergey,<br><br>I checked what Gottfried said, and I guess he is correct<br>may be assign the path "at any point if it hits an emission BSDF" to the Emission pass?

<br>
while many VFX artists find the Cycles shadow pass limited, I wonder<br>
wether it could be improved by also taking mesh lights with MIS and the<br>
world background with MIS (basically all shadow rays) into account?<br>
<br>
Is there a specific reason why it only recognizes lamps? Most VFX work<br>
is done with an HDRI background of the set, so the change mentioned<br>
above would be real improvement.<br>
<br>
