3D Shadow - Airplane 01

How often do designers struggle to create a realistic shadow in their designs? How many times have visual effects artists tried to extract a shadow from a real object, only to fail because shadows aren't solid objects? Here's the solution: 100% transparent shadows with Ambient occlusion that make your work easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, 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. The images used were originally rendered at 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to reduce the file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and from top in multiple directions. Two versions of each shadow were saved: a Hard shadow for sunny scenes and a Soft shadow for cloudy scenes. These shadows are excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects and are noiseless. Choose the shadow that suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, use any deformer tool like the Transform tool in Photoshop or the Corner Pin effect in After Effects (or the equivalent in other software) to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are attached. You can mix between hard and soft shadows as you like, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Remember, a shadow is just that - it won't change.
