Is there any kind of Fantom feature in Bryce 7.1?

Hi there ^_^

So today I would like to save a Bryce image for use as a backdrop in DAZ Studio. There is a bridge in my Bryce scene which I need to render the shadow of, but not the object itself. I will use the actual object in DAZ, along with several high res characters that Bryce cannot handle. DAZ has a Fantom feature which renders shadows only. Is there anything similar in Bryce? Thanks in advance for your reply ^^

    @eponica: I'd like you help you with this, but I've never had an occasion to do this type of thing. So I wouldn't know how it's done. One of the gurus might know.

    It's not a feature, but I am pretty sure there is a way of doing this, I think I was looking at this a few weeks ago now and I can't remember the steps off the top of my head. I will look into this when I get back from work.
