3D Shadow - Car 01

How many times have you struggled with creating a realistic flat shadow while working on your design? How often did you attempt to extract a shadow from an object and fall short? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate because they lack solid form. That's why we've developed 100% transparent shadows, complete with Ambient Occlusion, to simplify the process for you. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist in need of adding a shadow to your scene, these tools are tailored to meet your needs and are easy to use. They contain everything necessary to achieve a realistic look for your project. Images were captured at 2000 x 2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were recorded from various angles - 25°, 45°, and top in multiple directions - resulting in two versions of shadow from each object: one Hard shadow for sunny scenes and another Soft shadow for cloudy scenes. Both are suitable for use in 2D and 3D projects and are completely noiseless. Choose the shadow that best 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 its equivalent in other software to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are included for reference. You can mix Hard and Soft shadows as needed, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Remember, a shadow is a shadow and remains unchanged.
