It sounds like you have to objects – the logo and the text – which are casting shadows, but you want to fade out the shadow from the text while keeping the shadow from the logo. If that is the case, then you have exceeded my limited knowledge. 😉

Perhaps you will need to render out two animations – one with the logo and its shadow, and one with the text and its shadow fading out – and then composite them in After Effects. Hopefully someone with more expertise can chime in.

Good luck.

Interesting.

I have been playing around with a simple scene with some text, one spot light, and a floor. I have the Shadow attribute set to “Shadow Maps (Soft),” and when I animate the Density parameter the shadow fades out appropriately. Are you using R13? How many lights do you have, and are they all set to cast shadows?

I’m using R13, so if you have an earlier version there may be some differences in naming, or differences in just what parameters are available.

If, for example, you have a spot light object casting the shadow, with that object selected you should see a “Shadow” attribute under which the “Density” parameter can be animated. I don’t know where the shadow “intensity” parameter is that you are referring to, but again I am new to this.

I’m new to Cinema 4D myself, but you could animate the Density parameter of the Shadow for your light object(s).

Make sure in your Render Settings that “All Frames” is selected in the Frame Range.

Thanks Tim, that was exactly the help I needed. I do need to study the help files more.

Thanks Bill, but when I do as you describe I get the same result as holding down the 3 key – the object view rotates left or right away from the object, as if the camera is rotating from its center.

Could you please explain how to do that Bill? I am a beginner with R13 too, and can’t get the view to revolve around any object. Holding the opt/alt key does not seem to add any capability to moving the view.

Thanks

I haven’t watched it all, but here’s a tutorial which covers what you’re doing. Hopefully he addresses your issue.
