How many times do you find yourself needing a separated flat shadow while working on your design to give it a more realistic look? How often have you tried to extract a shadow from a real object, only to be left disappointed because shadows can be tricky to manipulate - they're not solid objects after all! Here's the solution: we've created 100% transparent shadows with Ambient occlusion 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. The images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to reduce the file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and from 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. These shadows are excellent for use in 2D and 3D projects and come without noise. Choose the shadow that suits your design best 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 its equivalent in other software - to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are available for reference. You can mix hard and soft shadows as needed, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Remember, a shadow is just that: it won't change.
