  Won’t cast shadows…

  Posted by Jay Thompson on September 25, 2007 at 7:17 pm

  Hi,
  Got a little animation here I’m working on. Problem is that I can’t get the various layers to cast shadows on each other. I know I’ve seen this done, one of the tutorials over on Zaxwerks site evn shows it.

  Anyhow here’s the file (it’s small)…

  Thanks!

  You’re using Absolute Color. Shadows won’t appear on layers textured with Absolute color so switch it to Standard and all will be one again.

  Thanks John.

  All is now clear. The client wants to keep his specific logo colors. So I guess I’m stuck.

  Perhaps render each element (mainly the maps elements) as separate movies with alphas and add a shadow manually…
