Basic Perspective

Hint for Light an Shadow Projection

Here is hint for the projection of light and shadows into a scene. The layout of the shapes are on the side walls and floor of the cube. Build in the shapes that are casting the shadows. Now think back to or go to the basic lighting. Think about how light bounces off surfaces. You could literally master this to a degree as to build a highly detailed 3D scene. But as stated in the intro write up; we now have 3D programs that calculate all this for us. Still - in the end, a piece done really well by hand, will always have an individual stamp that no computer program can offer.
