Casting a Shadow
Hey guys,
I’m sure this is a relatively simple question, but I’m just having trouble getting past what seems like a basic AE maneuver. I want to cast a shadow on a photoshopped image I made, and am trying to follow along with the book I bought off half.com but can’t budge it – I know about clicking the boxes to allow the Cast Shadow to work in the Lighting preferences, but it’s just not working.Any ideas?
Thanks so much. -

Are both layers 3D? Is there a light in the right place to cast a shadow where you want? Under the layer’s “Material Options” (AA reveals) is the layer receiving the shadow have “Accept Shadows>On”? And the layer casting the shadow have Cast Shadows>On? If so, I dunno.

also, is the shadow color black, and/or, is opengl turned off? i think there is still a problem with opengl rendering shadows if they are any color other than black…
