3D Shadow - AC 02

How many times have you struggled to create a realistic shadow while working on your design? How often have you tried to extract a shadow from a real object but failed? Shadows can be tricky to manipulate, as they aren't solid. We've got the solution! Our 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion are here to make your life easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist, these shadows are for you and easy to use. They contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. We rendered the images at 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped them to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and from top in multiple directions. We saved two versions of shadow from each object: Hard shadow for sunny scenes and Soft shadow for cloudy scenes. They're perfect for use in 2D and 3D projects, and they're noiseless. Choose the shadow that suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, use any deformer tool like Photoshop's "Transform" or After Effects' "Corner Pin" effect, or their equivalents in other software, to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are attached.) Remember, you can mix between Hard and Soft shadows as you like, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Finally, a shadow is just a shadow - it won't change.
