3D Shadow - Motorbikes 05

We all know how frustrating it can be when you're working on a design and need to add a separated flat shadow, but just can't seem to get it right. How many times have you struggled to extract a shadow from a real object, only to end up with something that looks anything but realistic? The truth is, shadows are notoriously difficult to manipulate because they're not solid objects - they're fleeting and ephemeral. But what if we told you that there's a solution to this problem? A way to create 100% transparent shadows that will make your design look like it was plucked straight from reality. We've done the hard work for you, adding Ambient Occlusion to our shadows to make them even more realistic and easier to use. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor or 3D artist, these shadows are perfect for anyone who needs to add some depth and dimension to their scene. They contain everything you need to create a truly realistic look for your project, including two versions of the same object - one with a hard shadow for sunny scenes and another with a soft shadow for cloudy ones. Each image was carefully rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. We captured shadows from multiple angles, including 25°, 45°, and top views in various directions. And because we know that sometimes you need a little more flexibility, we saved two versions of each shadow - one for sunny scenes and another for cloudy ones. Now, all you have to do is choose which shadow suits your design, apply it to the object, and then use any deformer tool like the "Transform" tool in Photoshop or the "Corner Pin" effect in After Effects to deform the shadow. (We've even included video tutorials to help you get started.) And here's the best part: you can mix and match hard and soft shadows as much as you like, depending on the light conditions of your scene. So go ahead, experiment with different combinations until you find the perfect look for your design. But remember, shadow is always going to be shadow - it won't change no matter what. So why not take advantage of our 100% transparent shadows and add some serious depth to your designs? Ready to get started?
