iso shadow? what the heck is the difference except for the angle? why would you need 4 colours for the shadow alone? Think outside the box, man!

If it is an iso shadow, I would use four colors in order for it to fade away x.x

Wow, 8 colors, a normal shadow takes up 3 to 4. This one is tough.

I hate engaging other members in proper conversation using correct grammar and punctuation.
