I've been doing drop/long shadows in PS for years but I can't figure out how Apple did these. the shadow lines themselves attenuate and blur as they move further from the object.
Am I missing something obvious here or is there 'one simple trick' to achieve this?

First step: Take up roller-blading.

- Agreed. Probably a realistic shadow from a render.monospaced
- sledgehammer, meet nail. ;)
i literally just started learning blender so this somehow seems easier in PSSteveJobs - add a bevel modifier to the default cube, use the default light, add a plane under the cube and move camera directly above. press F12monNom
- oops, sorry, change the default light to a sun lamp and adjust 'angle' to affect the spread of the shadow diffusion. Also orthographic camera.monNom
- ok that's not too difficult. I might try this. thanks!SteveJobs
- More tips: use cycles render engine. Set the material of the cube to 'holdout' and tick 'transparent' under the film panel. Now you've got a reusable frame.monNom

- i thought you were joking, but that looks about right, actuallySteveJobs
- Eye candy is quite the cheat for hasty weird techniquing... i used to be skeptical myself but it it's been a mainstay for weird logo treatments and effects.jonny_quest_lives
