Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 300 Blending a shadow into any background, part of Deke's Techniques.
…Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now, this week, I'm going to show you how to take an object that's casting…a shadow, and preserve its shadow from…one background to another to yet still another.…Now we've discussed how to preserve shadows in the past, but the…great thing about this technique is it's specifically geared toward these kinds…of stock photo shots where you have an object set against a…white background, whether it's a photograph,…or in this case a 3D rendering.…
