I have tracked my footage and placed my 3d model on the track solid, added an environment light with an HDRI because EXR file is not working, when i click at track solid's "on" at accept shadows i get the shadow of the object but when i hide the track solid, the track solid goes invisible along woth the shadow so i am unable to get the shadow only while hiding th track solid, i am using 2025 version of after effects and 3d advanced renderer, the accpet lights option is missing here for me. please help

That's not ideal. Are you still having the same issue? Do you mind sharing a screenshot or a screen recording that shows the problem?

Did you try clicking the Accept Shadow switch to Only? It's the third choice with that menu, Off, On, Only are the three choices.
