Americancritic Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Does anyone know anything about directional lighting. I would like to learn this for all the flowers I do, instead of just the flower they do not seem to be complete to me, they need something more.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The trick with directional lighting is to fake it by creating shadows in the opposite direction. This plugin is a great place to start BoltBait's Object Shadow Pro To use it, your image elements need to be on separate layers and surrounded by transparent pixels (we call these elements "objects" - as in the title of the plugin). The layers are best organized so the closest elements to the viewer are at the top of the Layers Window, and the furthest away form the viewer at the bottom of the Layers Window. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iJackk Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Interesting to learn about directional light. I am currently learning all about light, how to eliminate pictures properly and this resource https://perfectpicturelights.com/ seems to be pretty informative.
