Hi Richie, the shadow effect is actually kind of easy to do. The trick is, once
you have the subject selected, copy then select inverse, and fill with 100%
opacity.

Then use the transform/distort and grab the upper handles of the selection box
and drag it evenly down and outwards away from the subject.

Reduce the opacity and hit it with a little Gaussian Blur.

About the floor color. I agree. Usually it is not good practice to have the
subject and foreground/background to be the same color.

However, in this case I wanted to present a realm where the Mecha is styled and
colored to reflect the enviornment it operates in.

Either way thank you for your observation.
I really liked seeing your work on the Pointe Brique display. Way to go.

Eric

(...) Nice work, Eric. The shadow effect is remarkable - I wonder if a colour other than blue for the floor wouldn't work better with the mostly blue Bloobit? Cheers Richie Dulin CO Legeaux (16 years ago, 21-Nov-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
