Long shadows in Silhouette Studio mini-tutorial

July 11, 2016 by Kay 9 Comments

A question came up in one the Silhouette Facebook groups about how to create a long shadow so I put together this mini-tutorial graphic. As you can see, it isn’t automatic, but not too difficult, especially when using an offset like this. I am posting it here in case it might be useful to some of you.

    you can also make a ‘long’ shadow by using the shear tool. i sheared my word just a bit, then did an external offset to .125 and sheared ‘just the offset’ to where i wanted the shadow.

      Thanks for the reminder, Kat. For those that have DE, the shear tool is a great technique for creating cast shadows, which are a little different from this.

    I have a question. I saved an article the other day and now cannot find it. I have several files in silhouette I made and used but now when I try to open it pops up a block that says this file is not compatable. What can I do.
