Hey there reader,

Does anyone have a clue how to transform a drop shadow? I want the effect of light coming from above a ball, and a skewed shadow on the “ground” below it. I can’t apply the transformation matrices to filter objects, and i don’t know a way to place the filter effect in its own Sprite to transform.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any pointers would be much appreciated.

thanks!
