Create beautiful, smooth shadows in Figma. The plugin allows the user to create realistic shadows by adding a 'light source' which casts a shadow on selected elements.
Instead of thinking in abstract offsets, radius and spreads, the shadows are parameterized by azimuth (angle between light and element), distance (between light and element), brightness (of the light source) and elevation (of the shadow-receiving element).
The shadow effect is achieved by layering and easing multiple drop-shadows to create a skeuomorphic umbra and penumbra.
The plugin is cultivated by Josh W. Comeau's amazing resource and read about Designing beautiful shadows in CSS.
This plugin uses the amazing create-figma-plugin library.
