Expressions to make a drop shadow interact with 2D background.
Hi everyone,
Can someone help me with this…?
Is there a way (using expressions) to set up a drop shadow effect so that when the object moves away from the background, the drop shadow becomes more blurry and offset?Unfortunately, because of other factors, I can’t do this element in 3D or I would simply do it this way.
Thanks, Rob

If it’s not 3D, how does the object “move away” from the background. By scaling?
If so, some variation of these expressions for Distance and Softness should work:
// Distance
minScale = 50;
maxScale = 200;
minDistance = 5;
maxDistance = 20;
linear (scale[0],minScale,maxScale,minDistance,maxDistance)// Softness
minScale = 50;
maxScale = 200;
minSoftness = 0;
maxSoftness = 40;
linear (scale[0],minScale,maxScale,minSoftness,maxSoftness)Set the values of the parameters to fit your needs.
