I was working on a project where a basketball bounces up down and tried to manually create shadow and thought wouldn’t it be great if the ball had a shadow while bouncing to get that realistic sense within the physics api?
Could this be done with JavaScript?
Also since I don’t see the physical ball bouncing in the timeline I can’t really manually create a shadow.
Probably,
I would think you can observe the position of the ball in the scene.
And have another ellipse follow it on a single plane ( left position ) And depending onthe balls top the ellipse would shrink/grow and fade/darken
Limited to one plane:

Really Nice!!
Thank you Max. I just msged you, pls take a look.
Here is a version that includes a function to stop the shadow following

The destroy() function is on a button but can also be called via the timeline.
I called the functions init and destroy but startFollowShadow and stopFollowShadow would be much more explanatory… but as long as it works. Next time 
@MaxZieb Revisiting this thread bc I’m working on a new project that needed this functionality and I just had to say it again, thank you this is just brilliant. I feel like this should be baked into Hype to catch shadows in Physics panel.
Just thought of something, what if I want to start off the physics animation from a specific point in time?
Tried to hide and show it via Visibility but that didn’t work do you have a solution for that?
