3D Shadow - Car 23

How often have you struggled to achieve a convincing separate flat shadow while working on your design? How frequently have you attempted to extract a shadow from a real object, only to fall short? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate because they lack solidity. Fortunately, we've developed 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion built-in to simplify the process. 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 designed specifically for you and are easy to use, providing everything required 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. They were then cropped to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from multiple angles, including 25°, 45°, and top-down views in various directions. Two versions of each shadow were saved: one for hard shadows used in sunny scenes and another for soft shadows employed in cloudy scenes. These are ideal for use in both 2D and 3D projects and are completely noiseless. Choose the shadow that best suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, simply utilize any deformer tool like the "Transform" tool in Photoshop or the "Corner Pin" effect in After Effects (or their equivalents in other software) to deform the shadow. Video tutorials can be found attached for reference. You're free to mix between hard and soft shadows as desired, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Remember, a shadow is a shadow, and its essence will never change.
