How many times did you struggle with adding a convincing flat shadow to your design? How often did you try to extract a realistic shadow from an object and fall short? Shadows are notoriously tricky to work with because they aren't solid entities. But now, we have the solution! We've crafted 100% transparent shadows with Ambient occlusion built-in to make your life easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist in need of adding a shadow to your scene, these shadows are for you and easy 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, then cropped 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 - one is a Hard shadow used in sunny scenes and the other is a soft shadow used in cloudy scenes - they're perfect for use in both 2D and 3D projects, plus they're noiseless. Choose which shadow 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, or the equivalent in any other software to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are attached.) Note: You can mix between hard and soft shadows as you see fit - this depends on the light conditions of your scene. Shadow is shadow and will never change.
