wow thank you very much!! But what about rising/setting sun shadows, would it be the same thing or different?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would be the same thing, just at a different angle because the source of light would be lower in the sky. You would end up tracing the light and shadow points from the source of light in the same way that you did in the tutorial.

I understand that, but, how would I make the points? The pole thing isn't there because the sun is below the horizon...
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The pole would actually be at horizon level, almost even with the light.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The "pole thingy" is an imagery line FROM the sun TO the horizon in order to find a simple Point on the ground from where to trace the surface lines....soooooooo - in the case of a sunset/rise you'll just trace directly from the the point on the horizon where the sun IS ^^
Thank you very much for the attention and effort to understand my gibber-jabber ^^

This will helps me. Cause I suck at doing shadows lol. Thanks!

This will be useful, in the past, I've just eyeballed shading, which, for the quality of work I do, has managed to get me by, but even I knew that couldn't last forever.
So yeah, this is of use to me...

A simple, yet very in-depth tutorial with ideas and mechanics that a lot of other shadow tutorials leave out because they think it's "too complicated."
I really like this. ^,^

I wish I had braincells enough to understand it. It seems freaking awesome anyway!

Ooh this sure helps! I've never thought of using object angles for tracing shadows! This ensures precision too

Love the tutorial. It makes sense!

omg this is so so so helpful! thanks for creating it!

im trying to understand this... it's REALLY hard, because if an shadow is on the top, we need to do an equation to see where the light comes

Thank you so much.. Amazing tutorial!!
Your efforts are highly appreciated

AHAHAHA!!
I didn't really get it but I liiked it! xD

descriptive geometry -.- i hated that subject

Oh, finally. Shadows have been the one area of perspective I could never get. Either the illustrations would be too disjointed or the demonstration would move too fast. Go flash slideshows! ...And you weren't too bad yourself, of course.
