Trying this and my reflection layer keeps going up and behind the actor instead of staying on the floor. I am so confused.

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Sounds strange... As if there is something going on in the z axis if I would have to guess?

[@VOTECHGURU]

Nice!

[@LutoLocke]

Awesome quick tutorial Chris! Do you do the same for animations from ToonBoom or do you do the shadows/reflections right inside the ToonBoom software?

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

I often actually do the same. Ch or Toonboom - I almost always render PNGs to inport in after effects and then handle all that in Ae

[@LutoLocke]

@@ChrisOVEMERY Thanks! I finally started working on some small animations. Started with animating a broom (fantasia style) in Adobe Animate. Decided to try ToonBoom last weekend and... love it! It's a bit overwhelming, but I'm really enjoying learning it!

grande!!!! super!!!!

[@YellowDogAnimations]

This is awesome thanks a lot I’ll definitely keep this in mind it’s too much different from what I’ve done in animate so it looks like a easier transition to it thanks again!

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

thank Blimp!!!

Hi

[@LooneyBinAdventures]

My shadow turned into a reflection instead. How do I fix that by chance

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

[@LooneyBinAdventures]

Great quick tutorial 👌. Didn't know that was even possible on AE 😳. Might have to test drive this method later thanks as always.

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Happy you like it TB!

[@charski]

[@inaing]

great man

[@joanjude3158]

Simple but powerful

[@guy_incognito]

Thank you! Really helpful! BTW -- One other way is to use the scale and slant tools when 3D is not an option.

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

True! Great advice. Happy you liked it

[@seancyavm]

This saved me! Used this to create shadows for text, which had a reveal animation and the light source was behind and off angle so the shadows were skewed and reversed. Tricky but this helped a lot.

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Happy it helped you!
