3D Shadow - Ball 01

How many times have you struggled to achieve a realistic design by adding a separate flat shadow? How often have you attempted to extract a shadow from a real object and failed? Shadows can be tricky to manipulate, as they lack solidity. We've got the solution! Our 100% transparent shadows come with ambient occlusion built-in, making your work easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist, these shadows are for you and simple to use. They contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. Images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We then cropped them to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles, including 25°, 45°, and from top in multiple directions. We saved two versions of each shadow: one hard shadow for sunny scenes and one soft shadow for cloudy scenes. Both are excellent 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, simply use any deformer tool, like the "Transform" tool in Photoshop or the "Corner Pin" effect in After Effects, 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. Shadow is shadow, and it will never change.
