Is there a systematic way to determine the shape of the shadow on the 'ground'? Is it an ellipse? Is the axe of this ellipse aligned with the direction of the light? Is it more like an 'egg' form where the shape is larger as we go further from the form?

This article might help: https://thevirtualinstructor.com/how-to-draw-paint-cast-shadows.html (What is labeled as "core shadows" in the first illustration might be more specifically labeled "form shadow", of which the core shadow is a part, especially on curved surfaces.)

Hi @Dorian Iten , awesome to see that you are teaching on Proko. I already have your light guide lessons and they are really good. Will these be able to sync with the lessons on Proko? or are these whole new videos? Best regards Lasse
