To highlight the extrusions of the object:
• In the Lights tab, use a Distance value close to the Position Z value of the object (set in
the Position tab).
Adding Shadow in 3D Space
Unlike the shadows created by the Shadow tab, the 3D Shadow tab creates true cast shadows
that are created by using the three light sources in the Lights tab. Use the 3D Shadow tab to
turn the shadow for each light source on and off, and to adjust the softness of the shadow.
For more information on the Lights tab, see “Lighting in 3D Space” on page 325. For more
information on the Shadow tab, see “Adding Shadows” on page 315.
For detailed information on the 3D Shadow tab parameters, see “3D Shadow Tab” on page
348.
The object’s Position Z value
and the light’s Distance value
are set to 0.
