• Distance: determines the distance between the object and the
shadow.
• Color: sets the color of the shadow.
• Transparency: determines the amount of transparency for the
shadow.
Tip
When the transparency value is set above 0%, the shadow does
not completely hide the objects below. This produces a pleasant
visual effect, as shown in Figure 113.
