3D Shadow - Product 10

3docean

How many times have you struggled to create a realistic-looking design without the perfect shadow? How often did you wish you could extract a shadow from an object and make it look authentic, only to be foiled by their elusive nature? Shadows are notoriously tricky to manipulate because they're not solid objects, after all. Well, we've got the solution for you! Our 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion are here to simplify your workflow. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist in need of a shadow to complete your scene, these shadows are designed specifically for you and easy to use. They contain everything you need to give your project a realistic look. Our images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from multiple angles – 25°, 45°, and straight on – in various directions. We saved two versions of each shadow: a hard shadow for sunny scenes and a soft shadow for cloudy scenes. These are ideal for use in both 2D and 3D projects and come with the added bonus of being noiseless. All you need to do is choose the shadow that best suits your design, apply it to your object, and then use any deformer tool – like Photoshop's "Transform" tool or After Effects' "Corner Pin" effect – to deform the shadow as needed. (Video tutorials are attached.) Remember, the beauty of these shadows lies in their versatility: you can mix and match between hard and soft shadows based on your scene's lighting conditions. Lastly, a shadow is a shadow, after all – it won't change no matter what.
