3D Shadow - Car 03

How many times do you wish you had a perfectly defined flat shadow while working on your design to make it look more lifelike? How often have you wanted to extract a shadow from a real object but failed to achieve the desired result? Shadows can be tricky to manipulate because they are not solid objects. Fortunately, we now have a solution that makes your work easier! We've created 100% transparent shadows with ambient occlusion added to simplify your process. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or even a 3D artist who needs to add a shadow to your scene, these are for you and easy to use, containing everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. These images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. To reduce file size and fit the content ratio, we cropped them. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and directly from above in multiple directions. We saved two versions of shadow from each object: one is a hard shadow used in sunny scenes, and the other is a soft shadow used in cloudy scenes. They're excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects and are completely noiseless. Choose which shadow suits your design best and apply it to the object. Then, simply use any deformer tool like Photoshop's "Transform" tool or After Effects' "Corner Pin" effect, or its equivalent in any other software, to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are attached.) You can mix hard and soft shadows as you prefer, depending on your scene's light conditions. Shadow is always shadow and never changes.
