3D Shadow - Product 44

How often have you needed a separate flat shadow while working on your design to make it look more realistic? How many times did you want to extract a shadow from a real object, only to fail miserably? Shadows are notoriously difficult to manipulate because they're not solid objects! That's where we come in with the solution. We've created 100% transparent shadows that include Ambient occlusion to simplify your workflow. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or even a 3D artist who needs to add a shadow to your scene, these shadows are designed for you and easy to use. They contain everything you need to achieve a realistic look for your project. Images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We then cropped them to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and from directly above in multiple directions. We saved two versions of each shadow: one is a Hard shadow ideal for sunny scenes, and the other is a soft shadow perfect for cloudy scenes. They're excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects, and they're completely noiseless. Choose the shadow that best suits your design 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 provided for reference. Note: You can mix between hard and soft shadows as you see fit, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Remember, a shadow is a shadow - it won't change.
