Polygon from shadow
Dear Cinema 4D Gurus,
Is it possible to (auto) create a polygon from shadow ei. can we convert a selected shadow into a closed polygon?
A simple example; we can illuminate a cube object in such a way that it’s shadow takes a diamond shape. Can we convert this diamond shaped shadow into a polygon with four edges? If the answer is “Yes”, then can we use the same technique to create arbitrarily complex shaped polygons from any shadow?
Regards
Roberto Hawkowski

No can do.

Not automatic, but will do the trick:
Bake your shadows (in top view) and use the resulting image with Vectorizer for SPlines, or Relief to create a mesh (may have to delete the “non-shadows” polys)IQ
