Drop Shadow

Drop Shadow
Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 58
This effect creates a black plane behind the selected media file texture on a flat rectangular object. You can bring the
plane from behind positioning it to form a drop shadow. You won't see the shadow until you select a Modifier 1 or 2 DMX
value above or below 128 (50%).
•
Modifier 1:The default DMX value of 128 (50%) = no adjustment. Values below the midpoint move the "shadow"
right as you approach 0 = maximum horizontal shadow width. Values above the midpoint move the "shadow" left
to a maximum horizontal shadow width at a value of 255 (100%)
•
Modifier 2:The default DMX value of 128 (50%) = no adjustment. Values below the midpoint move the "shadow"
down as you approach 0 = maximum vertical shadow width. Values above the midpoint move the "shadow" up to
a maximum vertical shadow width at a value of 255 (100%)
•
Modifier 3:Adjusts the shadow's opacity from 0 = full opacity to 255 (100%) = maximum transparency.
Tip:To ensure that the shadow remains black and is unaffected by other graphic effects, apply it as the last effect selected
for an image.
