3D Shadow - Mug 01

3docean

How often do you need a separate flat shadow to make your design look more realistic? How many times have you wanted to extract a shadow from a real object, only to fail? Shadows can be tricky to work with because they aren't solid objects. We've got the solution for you! Our 100% transparent shadows come with Ambient occlusion, making it easy to get the job done. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor or 3D artist, our shadows are perfect for adding depth and realism to your scenes. They're easy to use and contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. Our images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We then cropped them to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and straight down - in multiple directions. We saved two versions of shadow from each object: one for hard shadows used in sunny scenes and another for soft shadows used in cloudy scenes. They're excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects, and they're noiseless to boot. Choose the shadow that suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, simply use any deformer tool like Photoshop's Transform tool or After Effects' Corner Pin effect (or its equivalent in other software) to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are provided for those who need a little extra guidance. Feel free to mix and match between hard and soft shadows as you see fit, depending on your scene's light conditions. And remember, shadows are shadows - they'll never change.
