Short: Visual Eng. - Shadow v2.94
Author: marko.seppanen@wwnet.fi (Marko Seppänen)
Uploader: marko.seppanen@wwnet.fi (Marko Seppänen)
Type: gfx/edit
This script adds different kind of dropshadows for logos/pictures.
Color: (Requires PrimaryColors.rexx)
Lowpassed shadow in colors.
Lowpass:
Shadow created with this is just actual picture lowpassed.
Smart choosing of lowpass value gives understated shadow.
Normal:
This gives black dropshadow. Adding some lowpass makes it spread
and more lighter. If in need of some abnormal, you can make
shadow rastered. Shadow mixed with vertical lines gives cool
results.
Rectangle:
This gives black dropshadow for rectangle pictures. It wouldn't
be very good idea to use it to other shapes. Adding some lowpass
makes it spread and more lighter. It's dropshadow is much more
effective than Normal's one.
Smooth:
This uses some special tricks to add shadows for example logos
with antialised edges. With Normal-shadow those edges would look
stupid between actual logo and shadow.
Visual Logo now has built in dropshadow-generator, so use that
one, when in need of shadow.
Transparent:
Effect is made by mixing original picture with shadow, which is
original picture affacted with possible lowpass-operator. Gives
really strange results, but is quite effective.
HISTORY
2.94
Now you can call this script from other scripts too or in other
words do some batch processing.
2.88
New effect available! Regtangle-effect is made just for regtangle
pictures. It's not very useful for other shapes. Better shading
than with Normal-effect. You'll see the difference.
PS. Maybe I someday join effects together, so all the different
effects could be affected to same picture on one run. Show some
support and I'll do it. Just by saying "Hi there!" is almost
enough.
2.78
Normal is now abnormal! You can now use rastered shadows. For
example when mixed with vertical lines gives really cool results.
Adjusting lowpass value now affects all the shadow types.
2.60
New in this version is possibility to add shadows to those shapes,
that use some kind of antialiasing or smoothing on their edges.
Before there would be lot of white pixels between logo and shadow.
Smooth-effect tries its best to handle this.I've now included
builtin dropshadow-effect to Visual Logo. It was quite impossible
to do it user friendly, <b>after</b> Visual Logo.
