How often do designers need a separate flat shadow to make their designs look more realistic? How many times have you tried extracting a shadow from an object and failed? Shadows are notoriously difficult to manipulate, since they're not solid objects. We've got the solution! Our 100% transparent shadows come with Ambient Occlusion built-in, making your work easier than ever. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects specialist, compositor or 3D artist looking to add a shadow to your scene, these are for you and easy to use - they contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. The images were rendered at 2000x2000 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 different angles, including 25°, 45° and top-down views in multiple directions. We saved two versions of each shadow: a hard version for sunny scenes and a soft version for cloudy scenes. These are excellent for use in both 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 Photoshop's Transform tool or After Effects' Corner Pin effect (or equivalent tools in other software) to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are attached for reference. Note: You can mix hard and soft shadows as needed, depending on the lighting conditions of your scene. Shadow is shadow, and it will always remain that way.
