3D Shadow - Helicopter 07

How many times have you needed a separate flat shadow to make your design look more realistic while working on it? How often did you want to extract a shadow from an actual object, but couldn't succeed? Shadows can be tricky to manipulate because they aren't solid objects. Here's the solution! We've created 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion added to make your work easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or even a 3D artist who needs to add a shadow to your scene, these are for you and easy to use - they have everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. Images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. They were then cropped to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles, including 25°, 45°, and top views in multiple directions. Two versions of shadow were saved from each object: one is a Hard Shadow used in sunny scenes, and the other is a Soft Shadow used in cloudy scenes. These are excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects, plus they're noiseless. Choose the shadow that suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, 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 attached for reference. Note: You can mix Hard and Soft shadows as you like, depending on your scene's light conditions. Shadow is just a concept and will never change.
