Ground shadows for 3D

[DarkAngel]

 Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended Tip - Ground shadows for 3D

Easily turn on ground shadows for 3D objects using 3D>Ground Plane Shadow Catcher.

 In the 3D (Scene) panel, set the Quality drop-down menu to Ray Trace (Draft or Final) to start the render and actually see the shadow.

In the 3D (Lights) panel, turn shadows on or off for individual lights using the Create Shadows checkbox, and then adjust the Softness.

In the 3D (Mesh) panel, you can adjust the shadow Opacity. Choose Snap Object to Ground Plane from the 3D panel's flyout menu if necessary to see the shadow.

I had to check some things in Illustrator for someone and the only one I have is the mac version...so I got the trial for a month one adobe has...have not looked too much into it but it looks about the same as the one my daughter has that is older version.

may get the trial version of PSCS--if they gots it that is.
