3D Shadow - Street Elements 18

How many times have designers needed a separate flat shadow to make their design look more realistic? How often have they wanted to extract a real object's shadow and failed? Shadows are difficult to manipulate because they aren't solid objects. We've found the solution! Our 100% transparent shadows, enhanced with Ambient occlusion, simplify your work. 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 needed to create a realistic look for any project. The images were originally rendered at 2000×2000 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 different angles, including 25°, 45°, and top views in multiple directions. Two versions of each shadow were saved: a Hard shadow for sunny scenes and a Soft shadow for cloudy scenes. These shadows are excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects and are noiseless. Choose the shadow that suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, use any deformer tool like Photoshop's "Transform" tool or After Effects' "Corner Pin" effect to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are attached.) You can mix Hard and Soft shadows as you like, depending on your scene's light conditions. Shadow is always shadow and never changes.
