3d animation tutorial w/ shadows & camera

[insomniacgrace]

Thanks for sharing this video clip. This is so helpful especially to those individuals who are into this field. Informative and comprehensive.

i made my light the same position as the camera and parented the light to the camera, so its as if the camera is casting light. the effect of this is the shadow on the wall moves. but it dousnt really look like a street wall and a fixed light anymore

[WithLoveFromKay]

thanks for the tut. ;]

[themightyp3anut]

beginning of tutorial i was frustrated...after 3rd time watching and completion I was thanking you for it. Nice work bro.

[JunKunXute]

I had the same problem as a few of you (not being able to cast a shadow)

to fix this I made the light cast shadows and then select the text and pull the blue thing towards the light. that's what i did. i hope that can help you.

[evilbobstarules]

@bbr2006 Doesn't work for me either :( Did you solve it?

[evilbobstarules]

@bbr2006 I have found out how you solve the cast shadows problem.

When creating the light there is a little button saying enable cast shadows on the light dialogue :)

[avikine]

[ynot097]

how do i take out the big green X on the screen????

[seceon]

if i want to move the text its only zooming out or in

[DSMNationX]

The shadow isnt working. please hhelp

[Niosus]

i found the problem: you need to go into the settings of the light and enable cast shadows. So both the light and the text need cast shadows enabled + the background needs accept shadows enabled

[DSMNationX]

THANK YOU!!!

[tinymien]

the shadow didnt work

[HRCZEPaNic]

my text doesn't cast shadow don't you know why ??

[Ticaw]

is it 3d?

[LamininPkProductions]

@Ticaw How do we find out if it's 3D or not? When I right click it, 3D Layer is checked but i still cant get the shadow to drop, it just moves the original text. Please reply.

[MaddenMan888]

@HRCZEPaNic you have to set the light to cast shadows too, under the triangle drop down in light options. hope it helps.

[tankyoku]

@MaddenMan888  thank you very much! it worked finally.

[evilbobstarules]

@HRCZEPaNic My text wont cast shadow either. And it is 3D

[ultralighttrikeguy]

@HRCZEPaNic Same problem, but I figured out the cause. Its because when you create the light, you have to check the box that says "casts shadows". I think he forgot to mention that!

[RitaAssal]

@HRCZEPaNic me too

[MaddenMan888]

what font did you use? and also this is an awesome video helped me loads! :D

[Ticaw]
