How many times have you struggled to achieve a believable flat shadow in your design? How often did you fail to extract a convincing shadow from an actual object? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate, especially when they're not solid entities. That's where our solution comes in - 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion, designed to make your work easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist, these shadows are for you and incredibly easy to use. They contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. Our images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We then cropped them to reduce the file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from various angles, including 25°, 45°, and from directly above in multiple directions. We also 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 they're completely noiseless. To apply the shadows to your object, simply choose the one that suits your design and apply it. Then, use any deformer 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. You can find video tutorials attached below. Remember, you can mix hard and soft shadows as needed, depending on the light conditions of your scene. And don't worry - once a shadow is created, it won't change.
