#SHADOWS IN 2D?
5 messages in this thread
If I have a 3d object with a 2d background that is say of a terrain,
and I want the 3d object to cast shadows that look correct with the 2d
background, how should I proceed to accomplish this task? Is there any
referance in the manual or in any of the third party books? I've tried making
everything white except for the shadows and using negative alpha but no joy.

Mike,

A local forum member, Martin Foster, has a chapter in the "3D Special Effects"
book on doing just what you want. The book has many other chapters of tips and
tricks, it's more than worth the price.

Yeah, that's right I remember now, that's the picture frame one right ? Thanks
for the reminder. I'll check it out. -=Mike=-
I believe some good shadow tricks are discussed in the 3D Studio Special
Effects book. Martin Foster wrote about a technique to do exactly what you're
looking for.
