An experimental idea…:spin:
Comments?
Nice artistic style. The kind you might see on the wall. I’m guessing you added a shadow only material. Great use of it. Normally it is only used in painted matte style to make a 3D object look like it is casting a shadow on an actual wall.
Thanks.
To create the shadow, the mesh of the character was edited to be flat, and a dark transparent material was used. I then used a lattice to stretch it, and extruded it out into a monster. There are actually no “real” shadows used. Lastly, I composited in a Defocus to blur the shadow somewhat.
wait so the shadow is rising out of the ground??
Well, my original idea and what I actually implemented was the shadow extending out of the ground… but thanks for the idea, I didn’t even think to actually put it on the wall behind him.

-This is great, very creative!!
I was thinking that the shadow was gimped in.:eek: shocker
Still experimenting with the idea…
Used the OnlyCast material option and multiple layers to get the shadow his time. Slightly gimped to get the paint like effect.
