mudmanc4 Posted June 28, 2011 CID Share Posted June 28, 2011 So iv'e got the whole warp drop shadow thing to give the effect the page is curling , by creating a layer under the area you want to appear as if it is a page , the selecting gaussian blur and selecting area a little smaller then the div , and rounding the corners with a 2-4 , done. Now I'm looking at something a little different. Say you have a spider on a web, you use drop shadow and it looks as if the spider is hovering over the web. But what about warping the shadows down to the web so it appears as if spider is casting a shadow yet standing on the web ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 28, 2011 CID Share Posted June 28, 2011 To make shadows cast on something like a web from a spider. First do the shadow for the spider get it how you would like it, dup the layer of the spider with the shadow, flatten the layer so everything is in one. Erase the spider from one layer and the shadow from the order. Now you should have 2 layers, one with just the spider the other with just the shadow of the spider. Select the web layer then choose the spiders shadow invert the selection and delete. You should now have the shadow on just the web. The spice it up, take a semi-fat eraser that is very soft and go around the edges of the shadow on the web this will make it look like the shadow is rolling over the web ie. more natural. Hopefully you can understand that, its very hard to describe in text, how to do this. CA3LE and mudmanc4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted June 29, 2011 Author CID Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well considering I'm no photoshop guru by any means, after reading your explanation I believe I'm going to learn quite a few things I can use later from this. Thanks D ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
