To add Shadow plane or contact shadow to your product, upload assets to the Variant information.
Shadow plane texture: JPG or none transparent PNG with the contact shadow. Fully while part of the texture will become transparent.
Shadow plane (mesh): The mesh used for the shadow. You can upload both horizontal and vertical meshes depending on where the shadow should appear.
To add shadows to a model, you will need to upload a Ambient Occlusion (AO) texture to the Material.
The Ambient occlusion (AO) texture is created in a 3D modelling software. The shadow properties are baked into a texture which can them be uploaded to a Material.
