Shadows is not visible with white color base "PhotoWorks"

Nov 20, 2003 4 Replies

How can I create with PhotoWorks Scenery my part to only have a white base plan (X-Z) where the shadows from the part is visible ?



I can only get shadows when the base is a "color" and not in Reflectance Style Constant.



I have activated Display Shadows under Lighting.

Thanks Dennis


Don't quite understand but use something like "plastic" instead of "constant".

Hi Paul, also when I use plastic and give it primary color white it's result in grey.

What I need is to have my part with white background, white base and shadow on base from the part.

Jack the diffuse and ambient values for the white material as far UP as they will go. It will help. You can also throw more light into the scene, and jack DOWN the diffuse on your other materials to compensate. Thats how we did this image, which came straight out of PWx2 without retouching (except the copyright text, of course):

BTW-Constant materials can't have shadows on them - they are 'constant'.

it's working - thanks
