3D Shadow - Tree 05

How many times have designers needed a separate flat shadow while working on their designs to make them look more realistic? How often did they want to extract a shadow from a real object, only to fail? Shadows are notoriously difficult to manipulate because they lack substance. Here's the solution! We've created 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion added to simplify your work. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist in need of adding a shadow to your scene, these are for you and easy to use. They contain everything necessary to create a realistic look for your project. Images were originally rendered at 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. They were then cropped to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles @ 25°, 45°, and from top in multiple directions. Two versions of shadow were saved from each object: one is a Hard Shadow used in sunny scenes, and the other is a Soft Shadow used in cloudy scenes. They're perfect for use in both 2D and 3D projects, plus they're noiseless. Choose which shadow 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 attached for reference. Note: You can mix between Hard and Soft Shadows as you see fit, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Finally, a shadow is a shadow, and it will never change.
