Creating lights and casting shadows in Adobe After Effects CS6
3D objects in After Effects can either receive (accept) or cast (project) shadows. To do so, we need at least 3 layers: 1) a background (a solid would do)... 2) an object smaller than the entire surface of the composition. 3) a Light layer. Learn from the Adobe Certified Instructor Stefano Virgilli, how to quickly set up and adjust lights in Adobe After Effects CS6.
