Have guys and welcome to the shallows or Wolken to creating shadows whatever you like.
Now if you want to follow along I now appreciate the follow longer you will learn much more.
Please open the project file shallows that ATP in this lecture we gonna start creating cellos and then
we play with them.
Say exactly what lights you like and how to manipulate things.
After opening the file you will notice that they're important.
Here are some logo.
If you open the logo cube you will notice that you have to ice cubes or a kind of logo if you like.
Fine let's go back to the shallows here and if we want to take just part of the cube out take the open
one and click on it bracket drop it here and scale it down to 50 percent.
We are now in to this year.
Now I want to create the background.
I will use a solid layer.
Give it a nice color.
Grey will work for now.
It will give us nice shadows.
We click OK.
Take the solid drop it under and we make them both 3-D.
OK I only go to to view presenter's And let's not start the logo and the solid letter are on the same
planet.
Let's now add a light and create the shadows.
Our right click a new and less ideal light to start with.
We are going to use for example a point light.
Now if use an ambient light you not as there is no shadows in all the others.
There will be a shadow here.
You can cast shadows the stars to the point light and of course you want to enable cast shadows intensity
and fall off.
It's OK we are going to work on that now as soon as I drop the light.
Not this the light is in front but there is no shadow.
There are a few things that you need to verify to get shadows.
First of all there should be a layer that will accept the shadows.
In our case this will be the solid laugh.
Well let's cut the solid layer here and let's go to the material options.
So I would say they are here can't accept cellos can change that to say chateaus only so that Sendler
does not appear.
But it only gets shallow and it became totally white or we can put shadows of shadows on.
So now we have the scarlet letter accepting the shallows.
God said we can't see any shadow that is because the logo itself should cast the shadows right guys.
So if you come to material options over here you will notice that you have cast shadows off where the
options are here off or on.
So now we can have shadows or shadows only.
It means the layer would disappear.
And you can see only its shadow.
Pedicle let's put it now on the shelves.
Still we cannot see any shadow that is because the layer that is accepting the shadow and the layer
that is casting the shadows that is the logo are on the same Z plan.
So you need to move it a bit towards the light so the shadow has some distance to appear.
And here is the shadow of this political right guys.
So actually in summary you need the light to cast shadows.
You need a layer that will accept the shadows and you need the object to also cast the shadows you are
and that should be a distance on the zipline for the shallow to appear otherwise the shadow and the
object will be merged.
OK so there is shadows that are on the same plan but they are in motion.
Ok so I put in front over here.
Let's go to the light itself and start adjusting the shadows from the light.
Light and light options.
First of all you have the intensity.
OK not this it does not affect the shuttle but this is the point.
Light is burning somewhere and the even the shadow is getting burned if you notice.
Just like this.
OK so let's keep it at a reasonable figure of 100 will be OK.
The falloff will affect the shallows we see that later.
And of course you have shallow darkness Cameco shadows very dark and above 100 percent even though we'd
be totally black and you can make the shadow diffusion now is zero.
I would say that if fusion is like the blurring of the shuttle if you take it up slowly you will notice
how the shallows are being diffused.
Let's put it for example at 15.
I like that so you'll have no shadows but they are diffused in the next lecture.
Start moving around the light and the two layers here and see exactly what's the effect.
See you in the next lecture.
