Hey, I’m trying to integrate 3D objects with a picture in 3ds max 7.

I’ve created a plane object that represents the table-plane and another representing the floor in the picture. Both planes have a shadow/matte material applied to them.

Problem:
Shadows from the 3D-objects on the table-plane are also being projected strait through the plane and on to the plane representing the floor!
How could I avoid this from happening?

Could there be a material that works like a shadow/matte material, but without letting trough the light and shadows?

Really hope someone could help me resolving this problem!
