Motion 3's lights cast shadows?

Can Motion 3's lights casts shadows? It doesn't appear that they can. This seems like such a basic function. I can't believe they would go to all the trouble to put in some great new technology and leave out the basics of that new technology. It would be nice if the cameras had a DOF function as well but understandable that it's not there.
Thanks

You're right. My apologies. "Basic" wasn't the correct word.I guess "typical" might be more along the lines I was implying. I just seemed odd that Apple ( who I couldn't have more respect and admiration for ) would spend so much time creating this incredible 3d functionality ( and add lights ) and leave out "cast shadows." I hope that shadows along with depth of field will be considered in newer upgrades. I would gladly shelve my After Effects.
Thank you,
Brandon

  • Layers not casting shadows.  How strange.

    I've set up a comp with a light behind a large number of grey solids aranged in a grid. The light shines through the grid and onto a perpendicular solid ground-plane.
    The thing is, the grid solids aren't casting any shadows. Now, they're in a precomp which is set as a 3D layer, but all the materials options are set correctly. All of the solids AND the precomp are set to cast shadows, and the ground-plane is set to accept shadows. The light casts shadows (and it works with other objects in the scene), but no joy on the solids grid.
    Here's an image showing two views of the scene along with the corresponding overhead view to show the camera and light placement. The horizontal line in the overhead view is the solids grid. Also, Trapcode Lux is on to visualize the light cone, but it's not to blame, since there are still no shadows with it off and removed from the comp.

    Let me know if you can figure this out.
    Thanks!

    I realise this original post is 4 years old, I've only just come across it.
    I had exactly the same problem it was driving me mad, the problem was caused by a 3D Null object between two other 3D objects. By moving the Null to the top of the composition's layer stack weirdly meant the shadows were visible again.

  • Mirror, Cast Shadow,(Motion) Blur, Extrude Layer Styles

    Layer styles are useful because of their parametric and their non-destructive natures.
    I'd like to suggest new layer styles, of commonly used effects, that would help to automate lenghty tasks.
    Mirror would create a reflection of the layer that fades with distance, it is commonly used in the products pictures of a famous computer /music player/phone manufacturer, and is even available as a word art in Powerpoint! Another common name for that effect is "wet floor".
    Proposed settings would be to be able to select the direction (bottom by default), the angle of the reflection, the starting point of the reflection (so that the object/layer can appear to be floating in the air above the reflecting surface), the distance/curve of the fade, maybe an option to desaturate, lighten/darken, and/or blur with distance) There could also be an option to increase/decrease the width of the reflection. An additional eye candy would be to be able to distort the shadow with a map, for effects like waves, but we are way over in the cliché mode...
    Cast Shadow would be very similar to the mirror effect, and would simulate the shadow casted by a light placed behind the object/layer. It would use most of the controls found on the Mirror layer style, or it would be available when one desaturates the mirror effect.
    Motion Blur would create the effect of a displacement of the layer. It should be able to create the lenght of the blur, a start fade (so that the whole object/layer is not blurred, but only part of it). The fade could have two settings: flat or parametric. Flat would blur based on a gradient, while parametric would fade the blur according to a fixed distance to the edges of the layer. It would be very useful to be able to create a path that the blur would follow, but I'm not sure about the best interface: on image, or in a dedicated widget.
    Blur would be a simple blurring routine, that would alleviate the need to create smart objects, and use smart filters.
    Extrude could be the equivalent of creating step and repeat copies of a layer/object. It would create nudged copies of the layer simulating a third axis.
    Controls would be: angle, distance, fade, where the copies become desaturated, blurred, and/or would have lower opacities.
    I hope that other users will chime in with proposed refinements, or additional (useful and feasible) layer styles they'd like to see.

    I like these Pierre.
    Also
    Noise - at the moment its possible to use Pattern Overlay and generate patterns to put grain texture and noise into layers. But a layer style with the correct parameters, grain size, blur, intensity, saturation (Saturation applies to the saturation of the noise not the image), would be useful.
    This brings me back to  feature request made about a year or so ago, that it woud be possible to sample overall image 'noise'or 'grain' and to apply this to areas. It would use image analysis tecniques, although Im not sure yet what these would be -   to create an 'average' grain structure for the existing image (probably the base layer but this could be redefined). This would mean that any bad retouching (blurring or image softening) could be more easily salvaged, and would also mean that its easy to do much more destructive editing, more freely on an image than before, without the worry of banding on output.
    If I think of any others I'll post them

  • Why do I get a lined pattern when casting shadows with a Point light?

    Hello,
    For some reason I am getting a weird lined pattern on my composition. It only happens when using a Point light with Cast Shadows on (see image below.) It's almost a wood effect and not one I particularly want. I have found that altering the shadow map resolution only seems to change the pattern of the lines, but apart from that I have no idea how to get rid of it!
    Cheers
    Kristian

    Hi Coconutzor1,
    It only has a Position and Orientation effect on it, with material options (cast shadows: on, light transmition: 50%, accepts shadows: on, accept lights: off). It is also a 3d layer, if that matters. It sits in a Composition that has collapse transformation on, with a camera, a null object to control the camera and a point light with cast shadows on... I only ever see the weird lines when the cast shadows on... so I guess it must be something to do with that?

  • Lights not casting shadows on objects in scene...

    I'm having a problem where my light source is not casting shadows on the objects in the scene.
    http://i.imgur.com/GUtMD.png
    The light is set to cast shadows and the objects are set to receive them. I have not been able to get the light to affect the objects in the scene at all. Is there some other type of setting to make them recognize each other?
    This is After Effects CS6, all up to date.

    You have Draft 3D enabled, which does not render any shadows at all.

  • LIGHT DOESN'T CAST SHADOWS.

    hi i have a few layers, a camera, and an ambient light. i turn cast shadows on in every layer but it doesn't do anything. i did the same thing a long time ago on another video and it worked, but that was the one and only time it did, what am i doing wrong?

    > i turn cast shadows on in every layer but it doesn't do anything.
    the light must also be set to cast shadows but Ko is correct, ambient lights do not have that option.
    the online help system will explain it all to you.
    Double-click a light layer in the Timeline panel or select the layer and choose Layer > Light Settings.Casts Shadows Specifies whether the light source causes a layer to cast a shadow. The Accepts Shadows material option must be On for a layer to receive a shadow; this is the default. The Casts Shadows material option must be On for a layer to cast shadows; this is not the default.Light Type Parallel emits directional, unconstrained light from an infinitely distant source. Spot emits light from a source that is constrained by a cone, like the spotlight used in stage productions. Point emits unconstrained omnidirectional light, like the rays from a bare light bulb. Ambient creates light that has no source but rather contributes to the overall brightness of a scene and casts no shadows.

  • Text fade in/out won't work if a light makes shadows

    I found that text won't actually use a fade in/out behavior if you are using a light that projects shadows.
    Now, that's an interesting thing. I used to notice with drop-shadows in Mo3, the shadow would show up and the fade would be sort of weird since you could see the shadow under while it faded in. It wasn't a very pretty fade since it got dark and muddy first.
    So, now, it just won't let you do it.
    Bug or user error?

    Adjusting the opacity of a text layer forces it's rasterization. This essentially gives it the properties of a 2D layer which aren't affected by lights.
    In order for you to get a cast shadow AND a fade in/out, you must first flatten the text layer. This can be done by selecting the Flatten button in the Text tab of the inspector. Or else you can drop the text into a 3D group and flatten the group from the Group tab.

  • Cinema 4D lite objects in After Effects - lights and shadows

    Hello, how do you get an imported Cinema 4D object to react to a AE light to cast a shadow?
    1. I apply the Track Camera Effect to my footage
    2. I select track points, right click the Red Target, and 'Create Shadow Catcher, Camera and Light'
         a. Light Options - Cast Shadows On
         b. Shadow Catcher - Accepts Lights Only
         c. Renderer - Standard(Final)
    3. I import a C4D object and set CINEWARE to 'Comp Camera'.
    The C4D object tracks correctly to the camera, but the object does not accept the AE light and does not cast a shadow from this
    light onto the Shadow Catcher layer. Can't seem to find the answer in any online tutorials. Thanks for you help!
    Rob C.

    You need to put your lights in the scene, export your Comp to a C4D project, and then set up your shadows in C4D

  • Need help casting shadows

    New to using AE CS4...I have a 3d scene (screen shot below) and want to cast shadows off the video section like have done with the still image. How do I do this? I would like to have different 3d objects moving in and out, with the sections of video hitting them and falling off as they move by. Like I said I am new to AE (2 weeks) and may be moving to quick before I learn the basics!
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Assuming your still image has a shadow being cast by your light (rather than a fake shadow as mentioned in the post above) you simply need to enable shadow casting for your footage layer.
    Select the footage layer, press AA to reveal Material Properties, set Casts Shadows to On.
    The footage layer will, of course, need to be positioned correctly within your 3D environment for the shadow to appear correctly.

  • Add cast shadow to person?

    Motion 3
    FCS 2
    Rephrasing (more succinctly) an unanswered question from a while back:
    Is it possible to add a cast shadow to a chromakeyed person?
    (1) Is there a trick or workaround to do this within Motion?
    (2) Is there a plug-in? Or, a separate program that does this?
    I've searched the forums and Googled the web, but not having much luck. I appreciate any help or direction.
    Thank you!

    1) Duplicate the layer
    2) Use the Channel Swap filter to switch all channels to Alpha - this will make your keyed subject all white
    3) Add an Invert filter - this will make it all black - your shadow
    4) Right-click and select the Four Corner tool, distort to tast
    5) Blur as needed (you might want to group the layer and blur the group)
    6) You can duplicate this whole thing, remove the blur from the original, then use an image mask with a gradient to have the blur fall off as the shadow gets closer to the subject.

  • How can I print  the figures (text) in a chart WITHOUT a cast shadow?

    hi all,
    in charts (line, column, etc.) i want display the figures (plott points) without cast shadows. Although the cast shadow option in the format bar isn´t aktiv, there is always a lighlty cast shadow when i´m printig the document and in my opinion it looks bad.
    isn´s it possible to print the figures (text) of a column chart without a cast shadow? btw: the same effect in pages.
    thx a lot
    rudi

    Hi rudiRocket,
    Welcome to Numbers discussions.
    Yes I see what you're talking about, never noticed it. To remove the shadow I tried numerous fonts but, still the shadow. Let's hope someone else has a better answer. Be aware folks on these Discussion boards are, as yourself end users not Apple employees.
    In the mean time please read the below instructions:
    Send feedback directly to the Numbers team for enhancement requests: at the top of your screen to the right of the blue Apple please click "Numbers" > "Provide Numbers Feedback". Explain in detailed what you've found. This makes your request known to the Numbers team directly; don't expect to hear back from them. I've sent many as well.
    Let's hope the next version of iWork incorporates many of the requested enhancements.
    Thank you in advance for doing that.
    Again, welcome to Numbers Discussions, have fun here.
    Sincerely,
    RicD

  • AE CS5 crash when cast shadows turned on?

    System.
    i7 @2.8ghz
    9gb ddr3
    2x 1tb HDD
    ati 5770
    Adobe Master Collection CS5
    I was finishing up a 3d product box in AE and once I turned on "cast shadows" under material options, AE crashes. Then when I open the project, if I try to do anything with the layers or timeline, it crashes. The error makes no sense to me, unless the 2nd part is irrelevant.
    first I get
    After effects error: crash occurred while invoking rendering plug-in "AE_OpenGL"
    Then
    after effects error: Crash in progress. last logged message was <8852) <ASL.ResourceUtils.GetLanguageIDFromRegistry> <0> Unable to obtain the User 'Language' registry key at: Software\Adobe\AfterEffects\ defaulting to 'en_US'.
    If I delete the layers or turn off "cast shadows" everything works fine.
    Any ideas? This is the ONLY time I have had AE crash on my system.

    Have you installed the most recent updates?
    Do you have OpenGL rendering enabled for previews? If so, turn it off. (See this page for information about troubleshooting OpenGL issues.)

  • AE - Layer that casts shadow but doesn't accept light?

    Hello there,
    First of all, I'm using the AE CS4 (due to the 32-bit version) and I have a little problem there:
    Please check this image below:
    As you can see, I have some rectangle and there's shadow in the back beneath it. What I wanna do, is that I want to create this rectangle and have SHADOW APPLIED on it but I DON'T want the solid to be affected by the light (as you can see, there's an ugly gradient caused by light).
    I tried to enable the "accept shadows" and disable the "accept lights" option but that doesn't work since the layer doesn't accept lights it doesn't accept shadows, either. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    You just didn't try the right box. If I understand your request you simply set the white solid to Accepts Shadows only with all other material options set to their default settings. Here's what it looks like:
    I pressed the U key twice to reveal all settings that have been changed from the defaults.

  • Pre-composed layers not consistantly casting shadows?

    So. I've been trowling through th interwebs for an answer and it appears a lot of people have come accross similar issues yet I am still to solve my little hiccup.
    I have a bunch of 3D layers sitting on a 3D plane. Everything was going swimmingly until I animated these layers in individual pre-compositions, when all the shadows disappeared. All shadow settings are set correctly, lights are in the right places, layers are separeted on Z axis and there are no effects on anything.
    I'll include some images so you get the gist:
    For some reason, 1 shadow is working. i've checked all the settings and nothing seems to be different between them.
    Here's a shot of the stats on the working comp:
    And one of a non-working comp:
    Now the pre-comps are no longer interacting with the ground at all. You can see the working one in the background is hanging out half way through the floor where as the front characters should be doing the same but aren't.
    And finally, for some reason, at the 7second mark, it suddenly works again!?
    Now, nothing changes at the 7 second mark, the camera and lights are in exactly he same place. None of the figures have moved, no comps have ended. what on earth is happening??
    Can anyone help me?

    what do you mean by toggling the visibility?
    They all have masks on them that fade them in however the originals had masks when they were just straight illustrator layers and the shadows worked fine then too.
    Heres an in-comp image of the timeline. there's not a whole lot going on and again, nothing at 7seconds.
    Also, here is a picture of the only comp within this comp that gets close to that 7 second mark. Again, nothing happens.
    All the character comps are set up the same so problems should be consistant across the board but again, one in the background of the first image i posted works yet none of the others. i've even duplicated this layer and the duplicates don't work.

  • Problem: Light color shadow on top of black background when printing

    Using InDesign CS3, PC.
    I have a book cover design that looks perfect on screen. There is a section with a black background and colored letters on top of it. Also on top of this black background is an image of a dinosaur (made in illustrator CS3). The image was placed into the InDesign file and does not have any color to the background. But when it is printed (Xerox Phaser), there is a colored shadow where the image overlaps the black background section.
    There are also colored areas over other black background sections where drop shadows (35%) occur on top of the black background.
    Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have never dealt with 100% black in my designs before and I must be doing something wrong.
    Again, on the screen you cannot see any of these colored areas on top of the black background. It's only when I print that they show up.
    Thank you,
    Cathy
