3D Shadow - Grass 07

How many times have you found yourself needing a separate flat shadow to make your design look more realistic? How often have you wanted to extract a shadow from a real object, only to fail? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate because they're not solid. That's why we've created 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion added to simplify your work. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor or 3D artist in need of adding 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. Images were originally rendered at 2000 x 2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We then cropped them to reduce the file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and from top in multiple directions. Two versions of shadow from each object were saved: one hard shadow for sunny scenes and one soft shadow for cloudy scenes. These are excellent for use in 2D and 3D projects and are noiseless. Choose the shadow that suits your design 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 any other software - to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are attached.) You can mix between hard and soft shadows as you like, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Finally, a shadow is a shadow and will never change.
