How about shadows - do the characters generate shadows?

MARLIN STUDIOS - PEOPLE - N- MOTION
For the characters to create shadows the scene lights must be set to Raytrace. If the lights are set to Raytrace and are positioned so that they are essentially perpendicular to the long side of the plane, then reasonable approximations of shadows can be made.

Why are the shadows squared ?

Itoo Software - Forest, plugins to create trees in 3D Studio...
If we use the default geometry of Forest, the trees are created with single planar faces, its projected shadow has the same form. This problem only exists if we use lights with 'Shadow Map' selected. With 'Raytrace Shadow' selected in the Shadow Parameters rollout, the projection for opacity mapped objects is resolved correctly, but the render time is longer.

How get shadows smooth?

dg faq
It depends on different issues. The main important thing is that a light source owns an extension. The bigger the light source extension is the bigger is the penumbra of the created shadow. This property is adjustable in the existing tool. Other issues are the distances between the light source, occluder and receiver. Subdivision surfaces allow defining smooth surfaces with a very limited number of control points, i.e. a very rough base mesh that has a limited number of triangles.

How do I create shadows?

Ayam - FAQ
This depends on your renderer. They either create raytraced shadows (like e.g. BMRT) or use so called "shadow maps" (like e.g. Aqsis). For BMRT, it is sufficient to switch on the "Shadows" attribute of the light object (plus, since BMRT 2.6, the object onto which the shadow is casted must have atleast the "matte" surface shader assigned, which is guaranteed by Ayam unless you switched the default material to "none").

How are shadows handled?

Frequently Asked Questions
Positioning the lighting correctly can eliminate most, if not all, shadows. Placing the lights equidistant to the object and at about a 45 degree angle will help reduce shadows. Once the images have been captured, it is easy to remove shadows using Photoshop or other image editing software.

How can I add shadows to my scene?

OpenGL FAQ / 18 Lights and Shadows
The GLUT 3.7 distribution comes with examples that demonstrate how to do this using projection shadows and the stencil buffer. Projection shadows are ideal if your shadow is only to lie on a planar object. You can generate geometry of the shadow using glFrustum() to transform the object onto the projection plane. Stencil buffer shadowing is more flexible, allowing shadows to lie on any object, planar or otherwise. The basic algorithm is to calculate a "shadow volume".

My shadows look messed up, why?

steve-m.com - Collision File Editor II - Frequently Asked Qu...
That's probably because your shadow mesh isn't closed. If that's the case, a bug/limit in SA causes odd projection errors, with shadow triangles floating around. So always make sure your shadow mesh doesn't have any holes.

I paint in oils. How do I soften the shadows?

Yarnell Studio - FAQ-Oil & Acrylic Answers
You would use your complimentary color system to soften a shadow. We refer to it as graying a color. For example, a purplish shadow would be grayed or softened with its compliment of yellow - blue with orange, red with green, etc. Check your complement on a color wheel. This will solve your problem. Yes, Liquin is thick and it will weaken the pigment of your paint. You should only use a few drops in your mixtures.

What's the big deal with "Shadows Falling"?

Guardian Angels - About the Site - General FAQ
Long story. ^^ SF was the first reason for creating this site in 1998; it was also my (Amber Michelle) first fanfic, and the universe in which Calis's fanfic "A Piece of Me" is set. Apparently it was one of the first Xeno fanfics online (wouldn't that be cool), but I can't say for certain myself. If you can't find something there, either contact me or consider the possibility that GA doesn't have what you're looking for.

They'll be back at some point, but they're not the focus at the moment. Which isn't to say one or more of them won't be seen at all in the very near future. It's too early to say, but I'd like to make use of any and all aspects of the overall concept where and when it makes sense. Well, of course it includes the Marvel run, that's considered part of our continuity.
