Drop shadow effect

Add a drop shadow around your object, visible on the layer.

Key properties

  • Distance and Rotation set how far the shadow is offset from the object and in which direction (an angle in degrees).
  • Blur softens the edges of the shadow, and Alpha controls how opaque it is.
  • Color of the shadow lets you tint the shadow (a colored glow rather than a plain dark shadow, for instance).
  • Shadow only hides the object itself and keeps only its shadow, which is handy to render a separate shadow object placed on the ground.
