3D Shadow - Plate 02

How many times have you struggled to create a realistic-looking design without the perfect shadow? How often did you try to extract a convincing shadow from a real object, only to be left disappointed? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate because they aren't solid objects. But now, we've got the solution! Our 100% transparent shadows come equipped with Ambient Occlusion, making your work easier than ever. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist, our shadows are perfect for anyone who needs to add depth and realism to their scene. Our images were originally rendered at an impressive 2000 x 2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel, ensuring that they remain free of banding. We then cropped them to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from multiple angles - 25°, 45°, and straight on - in various directions. We also saved two versions of each shadow: one for sunny scenes (hard shadows) and another for cloudy scenes (soft shadows). These are perfect for use in both 2D and 3D projects, and they're completely noiseless. Just choose the shadow that best 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. (Video tutorials are available below.) You can even mix and match hard and soft shadows depending on the light conditions of your scene. Remember, a shadow is always just a shadow, so don't worry about it changing.
