Now that you touch that part... is there a way (already or "todo") to
get objects that cast shadows into normal ones, receive shadows from
normal ones, but do not cast or receive shadows from objects of the
same kind? Days ago someone was asking in IRC how to get such objects,
so he would be able to have grounds that receive shadows from other 3D
items, stand ins that cast shadows into 3D items, but do not cast to
the ground (thus affecting shadow intensity from original footage).
