- ShadowBox works by masking. Drawing masks on each of the box faces will define
the shape from that view. Hold down Ctrl and draw a mask on the box, as shown in
Figure 10.55. You will further refine this shape by drawing it in the other views. - Draw a mask on the floor of the box to define the shape from the top view (Figure 10.56).
Repeat this for the back face of the box (Figure 10.57). By unmasking areas, you can cut
negative spaces into the 3D form (Figure 10.58).
Figure 10.56 The floor allows you to define the shape from the overhead view.
Figure 10.55 Drawing a mask on the box results in 3D geometry created in the shape of the mask.
