    My previous comment was aimed for this as if only want quickly to test how shadows work, then modelling something you already have as an 2D image might not be needed at all and would be lots of extra work.

    Yes! This is what I was trying to explain! The flower shadow over and beyond the bowl which follows where the vase shadow starts on the floor, light from above and left.

    You could also ask Gary for the OBJ file. You don't think I drew that purely out of my head, do you?

    See attached, and yes, thinonen, that is a very smart way to approximate 3D data from a 2D file, congratulations on your ingenuity.

    It really was a great investment in time, stygg, honestly.

    I love the way you conceived of it, and it certainly is ambitious, but you know something?

    Even though you and I live 'cross the pond, and our news programs have different identifier graphics (I don't know of a better name than the CG titles!), I immediately recognized what you were artistically conveying. Success!

    Now where are the Talking Heads?
