Ich hatte in einer älteren Dimension-Version einmal einen schwarzen Schatten hinter weißer Typo als PNG auf einer Glasfläche angelegt.
Nach dem Update auf die neueste Dimension-Version wird dieser Schatten nicht mehr bzw. nur sehr sehr schwach dargestellt.
Welche Einstellungen muss ich am Material oder am Bild vornehmen, dass dieser Schatten wieder sichtbar wird?

I updated Dimension to 4.1 - still no change. There is still greyish white gradient which was in the pre-4-version a nice black gradient towards 0% opacity.

I use text on glass serfuce and play with lights. Plane uses glass materials ( the Interior property has been changed) Do you mean something like this?

Thanks a lot for your answer, I appreciate!
What I want to simulate is a white lettering with a dark shadow around it, printed on an acrylic object (see both screenshots at the very beginning of this discussion).
It worked before in an older version of Dimension. In the meantime I updated the app. After that I opened the old (working) file and saw that the gradient shadow wasn't displayed correctly as it did before.
cheers

In new Dimension now user can't change opacity of glass material. He need to apply glass material and work with Interior property of glass material and change translucency. Not sure but may be that can be a reason. I will try to find any other solution and feedback to you.

I think premultiply alpha is the reason. I do not know, why the older version of Dimension was able to cope with it?

A new 3D engine has been implemented in 4.0 version and above. That is the reason.

Ok, thanks for your answer. Although I was hoping that there could be a solution to that problem. Do you know, if Adobe is working on that issue?
