Step 14: Now that we have a bet-
ter idea of how the shadow looks,
let’s adjust the light and camera’s
position. Go back to the 3D panel
and select Current View. With the
Move tool active, select the Pan the
3D Camera tool in the Options Bar.
Click-and-drag upward in the image
to move the camera view to get a
lower perspective of the tree, bring-
ing the shadow closer to the camera.
Drag up until the base of the tree is
sitting on the horizon line.
Step 15: Go back to the 3D panel
and choose the Point Light again.
Use the same Slide and Drag the 3D
Object tools to reposition the light to
change the shape and length of the
shadow in the foreground. Also, in
the Properties panel, set the Intensity
to 500%, and just below that, set
the Shadow Softness to 1%. This will
soften the shadows the further they
are away from the tree, giving the
illusion of depth of field.
