| In this YouTube Clip you will see "Jana" during a morning workout, "Shadow Boxing".
1. She was first turned completely Black(Skin, Hair, Clothing, Etc.), then Exported as a Widget.
2. Re-imported as a Widget and placed on a Flat Plane, then Flipped 180 deg. and placed against the wall.
The Original Characters Clothing and Skin was returned to Normal so she could "Shadow Box" with the light from behind her casting a shadow of her on the wall...(Not really of course).
The Lamp sitting behind her is there to perpetuate the lie that she is in fact "Shadow Boxing" It has a Glowing Ball placed on the front to simulate it is on.
Without putting the character on a Flat Plane as a Widget it would not have given you the Reversed and Mirrored image. Just reversing the motion will not do. You have to apply it, then flip it.
Oh yeah, the motion you export as a widget must match exactly as the character and be timed the same "Frames Per Second" when creating the Widget.
This has been a short "Widget" learning experience...try and see if you can do it. It's easier than it looks.

| What's impressive about this is not that it's clever (although it is), but potentially so useful!
Cricky, in the history of great 2D animations, I'm sure there are cases of very long, dramatic shadows cast in front of a character from a setting sun, or a giant shadow cast on walls by a character near the light source.
Any thoughts on rigging these scenarios? |
