3D Shadow - Street Elements 15

Here are a few times I needed to create a separate flat shadow while working on my design to make it look more realistic. Shadows can be tricky to manipulate, as they're not solid objects! But don't worry, we've got the solution! Our 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion added make your work easier than ever. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist, these shadows are for you and easy to use. They contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. 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 different angles @ 25°, 45°, and top in multiple directions; we saved two versions of shadow from the same object, one hard for sunny scenes and the other soft for cloudy scenes. They're excellent for use in 2D and 3D projects, plus they're noiseless. Choose which shadow suits your design and apply it to the object. Then just use any deformer tool like the "Transform" tool in Photoshop or the "Corner Pin" effect in After Effects, or the equivalent in any other software to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are attached. You can mix between hard and soft shadows as you like, depending on your scene's light conditions. Finally, a shadow is just that – it won't change.
