Description

Hi guys, I hope this tutorial is helpful for you.

I made this one for the 'shadow challanged' deviants of the world.

I myself am sort of shadow challanged, so learning this has really helped me as well.

This tutorial shows how to create a 'cast shadow' a shadow that is exaggerated in height and based on the shape of the object it is cast from. My example shows a shadow being cast from front to back, but you can angle the shadow in any direction.
