3D Shadow - Product 11

3docean

How many times have you struggled to create a convincing flat shadow in your design? How often did you attempt to extract a shadow from a real object, only to fall short? Shadows can be notoriously tricky to manipulate because they aren't solid objects. That's why we've developed 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion, designed to simplify your workflow. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist in need of realistic shadows for your scene, these tools are perfect for you and easy to use. They contain everything required to achieve a lifelike look for your project. The images were originally rendered at 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. They were then cropped to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles, including 25°, 45°, and straight on, in multiple directions. Two versions of shadow were saved from each object: 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 are completely noiseless. Choose the shadow that suits your design best and apply it to the object. Then, simply use any deformation tool like the "Transform" tool in Photoshop or the "Corner Pin" effect in After Effects, or its equivalent in another software, to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are attached.) You can mix hard and soft shadows as needed, depending on the lighting conditions of your scene. Finally, remember that a shadow is just a shadow - it will never change.
