I am working on an animation for a multimedia presentation, it is a spinning doo dad that my client would like to superimpose over a the lower right hand corner of a bunch of text slides. ………………….. ….. | | | Text text text | | | | Text …………..| | | Ani- | | Text | mation | |…………. |…………. | This would be easy if I could use the background from their text slides as a background in 3DS however they would like the doo dad to cast a shadow on the background of their text slides. The dillema that I am having is this: in order to get the doo dad to cast a shadow on their slides I need to map their background on a rectangle behind the doo dad to recieve the shadow. How do I allign the camera with the mapped rectangle so that when my animation is superimposed over the text slides it matches up perfectly with the background of their text slides? Thanks ME
