Shadow Parameters in the Properties Pane
Every visible object in a 3D space has shadow controls in the Properties pane of its Inspector. This
includes shapes, clips, particles, and so on. Lights, Cameras, and 2D groups at the root level of the
project do not have shadow controls.
•
Cast Shadows: This checkbox sets whether an object casts a shadow if it is between a light
source and another object.
•
Receive Shadows: This checkbox controls whether neighboring objects’ shadows affect the
current object. When deselected, light affects the object as if the shadow-casting object did
not exist. The following image depicts an object (the white ring) with the Receive Shadow
checkbox selected and the Casts Shadow checkbox deselected.
•
Shadows Only: This checkbox allows an object to block light and cast a shadow, while the
object itself does not appear in the scene.
