Hi,
I am looking for a tutorial or someone to explain how to take a 3d object made in swift 3d and make a shadow for it, like say a square rotating in air and directly below it a rotating shadow to either immitate a shadow or if they actually have a shadow tool, please e-mail me or reply to this post asap, netro101@hotmail.com thanks

If you create a new 'plane' and position it below the object as a floor, you will get a shadow. You can move the light sources about to get the right shadow.

ps. make sure you tick the 'include shadows' option when rendering your animation.
