CHAPTER 13 Effect Mode Options Descriptions

Drop Shadow

Object Effect

Global Effect

Effect Mode parameter DMX value = 58

This option creates a black plane behind the selected media file texture on a flat rectangular object. You can bring the plane from behind positioning it to form a drop shadow. You won’t see the shadow until you select a Modifier 1 or 2 DMX value above or below 128 (50%).

Modifier 1: The default DMX value of 128 (50%) = no adjustment. Values below the midpoint move the “shadow” right as you approach 0 = maximum horizontal shadow width. Values above the midpoint move the “shadow” left to a maximum horizontal shadow width at a value of 255 (100%)

Modifier 2: The default DMX value of 128 (50%) = no adjustment. Values below the midpoint move the “shadow” down as you approach 0 = maximum vertical shadow width. Values above the midpoint move the “shadow” up to a maximum vertical shadow width at a value of 255 (100%)

Modifier 3: Adjusts the shadow’s opacity from full opacity at a DMX value of 0 to minimum opacity at a value of 255 (100%).

Tip: To ensure that the shadow remains black and is unaffected by other graphic effects, apply it as the last effect option selected for an image.

NOTE: This option is also available as a Visual Mode adjusted with 2 Modifier parameters, (see Drop Shadow on page 84).
