Interweaving vines with 3D text

[BeanPole]

You are right Frank,

However, the shadow of the vine (snake) is more difficult than it would appear, because if you use a shadow on the over part of the vine, you get a chopped up shadow, and if you use a shadow on the back vine, it does not cast the shadow on the front part. HMM!

Perhaps someone has an easier way, but I tried it the long way around and used the shadow on the back vine(snake) and then tried to add a similar shadow on the front part.



Did this work?

Rats! I just thought of a better way! Perhaps if I had added a shadow to both it would have filled in the gaps?
