Had a go. Totally unscientific, but might give you some ideas.

Thank you this looks great!! exactly what i wanted. Im surprised it was all done in the Matte Shadow. I don't understand what the back wall is for, i can't see the difference in the renderer when i turn the display on and off. But thank you for helping me. i thought i would never find out how to do this in houdini.
