Overlay Tweaker
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 8:31 am
This isn't a big deal...yet. All I did was delete 3 lines from the Perspective Shadow script.
If, like me, you love to put images in your vector shapes you know that it is time consuming to create different images for day/night/weird lighting scenes. Well, AS allows a layer to act as overlay, saturation, color...so we could use that to alter our existing images.
The Perspective Shadow script gets us halfway there. But we need to get rid of the shear effect, hence the three lines I took out.
When you run it, you'll think "nothing happened." But guess what? Look at your layer. You made an exact copy that masks a rectangle and all of that is behind your original. Of course you don't see it.
This Rectangular shape is the one that you would tweak to work as an overlay.
Anyway, it's a start.

You can get an interesting, but probably not useful, effect by rotating this -90 on the X rotation (laying it on a "ground plane"). Because of perspective you can't really use it as a shadow.
