How often do you find yourself needing a separate flat shadow while working on your design to make it look more realistic? How many times have you struggled to extract a shadow from a real object, only to come up empty-handed? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate because they don't offer the same level of control as solid objects. Fortunately, we've developed 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion built-in to simplify your workflow. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor or 3D modeler, these shadows are designed specifically for you and are incredibly 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 file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from multiple angles - 25°, 45°, and from directly above - in various directions. Two versions of each shadow were saved: one hard shadow for use in sunny scenes, and a soft shadow for cloudy conditions. Both are ideal for use in 2D and 3D projects, and are completely noise-free. Simply choose the shadow that best suits your design, apply it to the object, and then use any deformer tool - such as Photoshop's "Transform" tool or After Effects' "Corner Pin" effect - to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are included for reference.) Feel free to mix and match between hard and soft shadows to suit the lighting conditions of your scene. Remember, a shadow is a shadow, and it will always behave in the same way.
