Hi folks.

Well, with the holidays coming up fast, my Daughter Marissa decided she wanted to do some custom xmas cards using an imported poser figure for an xmas pixie.  Well all has gone well so far on the poser side. but now I have the figure elements in C5 and have hit a roadblock.  I am hoping someone has an idea.  I am using a fe different elements in the scene, the backdrop is a cyclorama element imported from Poser 6.   Next we have a pair of fairy wings which are part of the problem, and lastly we have the main pixie which is the other half of the problem.  I had a lot of trouble with lighting and scale between the different elements so I decided to do the render in 3 seperate renders.  The first being the backdrop is fine, and the loghting now works on it.  The problem is that the fairy wings need to be done in a seperate render so I can make them trnasparent, and the fairly has to be done seperately so it is not transparent.  What I need to know is if anyone has a possible way to do the render of the fairy wings with all other elements invisible, but keep the shadows on the wings from the top element (the fairy itself.)?  So main fairy invisible, just her shadows affecting the wings?  Any help appreciated.
