How many times do you wish you had a precise flat shadow while working on your design to make it look incredibly realistic? How often did you struggle to extract a shadow from an actual object, only to fall short? Shadows can be tricky to manipulate because they're not tangible! That's why we've come up with the solution. We've created 100% transparent shadows, complete with Ambient occlusion to simplify your work. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects expert, compositor, or even a 3D artist, and you need to add a shadow to your scene, they're perfect for you and easy to use - containing everything you need to achieve a lifelike look for your project. Images were originally rendered at 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding; they were cropped to reduce the file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from various angles @ 25°, 45°, and from directly above in multiple directions; then, we saved two versions of the shadow from the same object - one is a Hard shadow used in sunny scenes, and the other is a soft shadow used in cloudy scenes, both excellent for use in 2D and 3D projects, plus they're noiseless. Choose the shadow that suits your design best and apply it to the object; then simply use any deformer tool like the "Transform" tool in Photoshop or the "Corner Pin" effect in After Effects, or its equivalent in any other software to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are attached.) N.B: You can mix between Hard and Soft shadows as you prefer - this is dependent on the light conditions of your scene. Finally, a shadow is always a shadow and will never change.
