    Trying to use AE lighting to cast long shard shadows.
    I have a 3D scene set up.
    I have an ai strokes imported over a layer. I have separated both layers in Z. I have the cast shadows option on. I can see the shadow that the image is casting from the spot light.
    I want the shadow to be a long shard stretching outward. Right now it is just a soft shadow.

    I think to get a really sharp shadow line, I’d just dup the layer, put it above the floor(less than 1 pixel) and then Fill it with your shadow color.
