  Adding shadow to text extrude

  Posted by Jim Hopper on August 27, 2019 at 3:52 pm

  Hey everyone!
  What I’d like to do is create a shadow on some extruded text.

  Here is what it looks like in C4D
  

  And what I’d like to do is add shadows under the letters like this mockup:
  

  So I just want the shadow specifically applied on the right-facing faces of the extrude but no where else.
  I was thinking I’d have to bring my animation into AE and just fake the shadow in there cuz I dont THINK I can do this on an extrude. But maybe I can?

  Thanks for the help!

  if it doesn’t have to stay as a parametric extrude, make it editable then use selections to add the material look you want only on those faces
