Re: projecting type as shadows
by Sean Fennell on Jun 16, 2007 at 12:44:03 am

If your text and light are off screen, meaning you only see the projected shadow onto the object, then don't cast shadows at all. Texture map the color of your light with a black and white image of the text you want to project. Very fast, you can view it in the viewport without rendering and the quality stays very high.
