3D Shadow - Grass 05

How often have designers struggled to create realistic shadows in their work? How many times has a shadow from a real object proven elusive, refusing to cooperate with attempts at extraction? Shadows are notoriously difficult to manipulate due to their intangible nature. Fortunately, we've developed the solution you've been searching for - 100% transparent shadows, enhanced by Ambient occlusion to simplify your workflow. Whether you're a seasoned designer, cartoon artist, visual effects specialist, compositor, or 3D artist in need of a convincing shadow, these tools are tailored to meet your needs and are incredibly easy to use. They contain everything required to achieve a realistic look for your project. Our images were initially rendered at 2000 x 2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to reduce file size and maintain content ratio. Shadows were captured from various angles - 25°, 45°, and straight down - in multiple directions, resulting in two versions of shadow from each object: one hard shadow suitable for sunny scenes and another soft shadow ideal for cloudy conditions. These shadows are perfect for use in both 2D and 3D projects and are completely free of noise. To apply these shadows to your design, simply choose the appropriate type based on your scene's lighting conditions and use any deformer tool available - such as Photoshop's Transform tool or After Effects' Corner Pin effect. If you're unsure how to proceed, video tutorials are included for reference. A note worth mentioning: you can freely mix and match hard and soft shadows to achieve the desired effect based on your scene's light conditions. Remember, a shadow is always just a shadow - it won't change its nature.
