How to make shadow in illustrator?

Question

Design

Hi all. I can't solve this problem. I drew the logo in Photoshop. Added a shadow to add volume. But the customer needs a vector in the chandelier. Is there any way to add the same shadow? In general, nothing works. Or will I have to leave the vector in Photoshop?

Answer 1

In addition to Nekto_Habr 's answer :
Illustrator's shadow can look ugly with squares in some types of printing, and in flexo we always inserted it separately as a bitmap (i.e. only the shadow itself is a raster, and the rest of the objects are a vector).
But any shadow like yours can be rendered as a gradient . You just have to break the object into parts and apply the necessary white-black gradients.

Answer 3

Well, you can also use a gradient to help, from black to transparent, sit and play.
