      Hi,

      Can you tell where I could have seen a little tutorial that showed the user how to reinstate shadows onto photoshopped surfaces, and then bring it into PS for a little bit of jiggery pokery.

      Was that on here? Does it even exist?

      Thanks.

            I did a tutorial awhile back showing how I make soft shadows and the appearance of multiple light sources. Could that be what you're looking for?

                can you expand a little on the 'reinstate shadows' part? From where? SU Output

                  Sorry Rich, it's no big deal really, hence the limited information.

                  But, the tutorial I was after told you how to take a textured surface which has shadows on it, change the surface to white, export the rendered SU image with the shadows on, bring into photoshop, add grass/surfacing in PP, then import the previoulsy rendered shadow into photoshop and then use a blending option (multiply?) so that an realistic shadow now appears on your photoshopped surfaces.

                  I may have just answered my own question there! πŸ˜†
