3D Shadow - Grass 09

3docean

How many times have you struggled to create a realistic design without the perfect shadow? How often did you wish you could extract a shadow from a real object, but it just didn't turn out right? Shadows can be tricky because they're not solid objects. But now, we've got a solution that makes creating shadows easier than ever. Our 100% transparent shadows come with Ambient Occlusion added to make your work a breeze. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist, 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 2000×2000 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. We saved two versions of each shadow: one is Hard Shadow for sunny scenes and the other is Soft Shadow for cloudy scenes. They're excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects, and they're noiseless too. Choose the shadow that suits your design best and apply it to the object. Then, simply use a 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 for your convenience. You can mix and match between Hard and Soft Shadow as you see fit - it all depends on the light conditions of your scene. And remember, shadow is shadow, and it never changes.
