Drop shadow effect

Add a drop shadow under your object's visible on the layer.

Settings

• Distance and Rotation set how far the shadow is offset and in which direction (in degrees). A distance of 0 places the shadow directly behind the object.
• Blur softens the edges of the shadow, and Quality controls how smooth that blur is (higher values look better but cost more performance).
• Color and Alpha set the shadow's color and how transparent it is.
• Shadow only hides the object and renders just its shadow — useful to place a separate shadow object under a character.

Tip

When the effect is applied to an object, the shadow can get clipped at the edges of the object's image. Increase the Padding property to enlarge the rendered area so the shadow has room to be drawn.
