flower paint effects shadow

this was a tutorial for making shadows to use for paint effects. the only way paint effects can create a shadow is after you apply a light and here a directional light was used then you convert paint effects to a polygon. klien there is a video in your folder called FlowerShadowJoce its an animation of the flowers moving as grass wood and moving in their own animated default. http://maya-tutorials-4u.blogspot.com/2008/06/creating-shadows-for-maya-paint-effects.html
