In this Short we're testing 2 new features:

1) Soft shadows

Notice that the shadow of the right person falls on the robotic spider. This is done by placing an avatar model behind the camera. The left person is part of the skybox.

2) ShadowOnSkybox effect

This makes it possible to use shadow maps with a skybox layer. It generates shadows on an invisible plane. Notice that the colour and sharpness of the shadow of the waste bins (skybox) matches the shadow of the spider (3D model).

Both new features are planned for version 16.2.0.3.

UFO

The silly UFO at the end comes with Windows 3D Viewer. Choose FILE > 3D LIBRARY and search for UFO.

Distortion

The distortion at the end is the Filters\Distortion effect applied to the camera layer.

Looks like it really was there! Hopefully not too many people were abducted from Rotterdam. 😉 Can't wait to get the new features. 🤩

The shadow is perfectly equal in intensity to the real one on the ground.
Beautiful!
A curiosity the shadow of the person is an avatar?

Super. L'ombre est très réussie et l'ombre des personnes est parfaitement projeté sur l'araignée.
