Hello guys,

I like chrisdesign's approach. In fact I just read those posts now and was able to attempt a version with a two layers.

I do think a two-layer shadow is the most realistic. In chrisdesign's version, however, there is not enough shadow below the car. You would never see shadows only next to the wheels and not below the chassis.

This is my current rough version. I still need to work on it to refine. I did not think about changing the layer opacity to multiply, it’s a good idea.

Having a harder shadow was what I was thinking as the trees have clear shadows since the sunlight is coming down with very little cloud diffusion.

Since the original picture of the car has a hard shadow on the bottom part of the body the shadow of the car on the ground must have a smiliar quality in terms of hardness and direction.
