I get the 3D, the perspective ones, but I still have a question for the 2D, how do you decide the shadow? Does it twice the height or whatever length we want?

He he. Both funny and very useful at the same time.
It shows how simple raytracing can be if you think about it rationally.
Thank you very much

I had no problems drawing lights and shadows before, but the 3D one where you intersect the lines using vertices was interesting... (probably did it subconsciously)

I do not draw! But this tutorial has helped me with my photo manipulations and understanding light. Most photomanip tutorials tell you to watch your light source. I never understood what they meant until now. Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial. Congratulations on a well deserved DD!
