3D Shadow - Plate 01

3docean

How many times have you struggled to achieve a realistic design without a perfectly placed flat shadow? How often did you wish you could extract a convincing shadow from a real object, only to be foiled by its elusive nature? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate, since they aren't solid entities. Fortunately, we've got the solution! Our 100% transparent shadows, complete with Ambient occlusion, are designed to make your work easier than ever. Whether you're a seasoned designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D expert, our shadows are the perfect addition to any project. They're easy to use and contain everything you need to create a stunningly realistic look. Images were rendered at an impressive 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to reduce file size and ensure a seamless content ratio. Our shadows were captured from multiple angles - 25°, 45°, and straight on - in various directions. We saved two versions of each shadow: one for sunny scenes (hard shadow) and another for cloudy conditions (soft shadow). These versatile shadows are perfect for use in both 2D and 3D projects, and they're completely noiseless. Simply choose the shadow that suits your design, apply it to the object, and then use a deformer tool like Photoshop's "Transform" or After Effects' "Corner Pin" effect to manipulate the shadow. Video tutorials are included for easy reference. Feel free to mix and match hard and soft shadows based on your scene's lighting conditions. Remember, once you've added a shadow, it's fixed - but that's what makes it so convincing!
