Per-layer Shadow

Added in v1.3.52

Shadow is configured independently on each layer. Its appearance is local to that layer, while React to Scene Light optionally connects it to Dynamic Shadows.

Per-layer Shadow

Shadow is a separate per-layer control and does not use one of the 8 local effect slots. The reference below uses fixed 1:1 crops of each control so values can be compared quickly.

React to Scene Light is configured separately from these visual comparisons. It connects the enabled layer shadow to the scene-level Dynamic Shadows controller.
