I have a “plane as image” for the background pic. I thought I could then add a plane, to represent the “ground”, upon which I could cast a shadow of the falling text object. However, the entire background image needs to be visible, and the plane needs to intersect at a position that cuts off the lower portion of the background image.
Is there a way in which to cast a shadow on a plane, without the plane being visible? Or, is there another process with which I could reflect a shadow of this falling text as it nears the “ground”?
Here’s a link to the blend file, and I sincerely appreciate the time someone might take to help resolve this. I feel like I’m about ready for a final render, if this issue can be solved: https://jumpshare.com/b/LcoA2KGVEZU0QXP4sBOz
OK, eppo. First, thanks a bunch for the input. I get the concept now; however, when I attempt the loop cut/slide, it doesn’t let me “slide” the cut. Therefore, it’s simply distorting the image/plane from the midpoint of the image.
I “think” I’ve packed the images (although it keeps listing two that it can’t locate…that I think are irrelevant?), and here’s a new link if you have time: https://jumpshare.com/b/jUsQ47ZiB3SwLp14Y1WU
Thanks again, eppo, for the tutoring…and in the past as well!!
