How many times have you struggled to create a realistic shadow in your design? How often did you try to extract a shadow from an object, only to fall short of perfection? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate, after all. But what if you had the power to create 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion at your fingertips? Whether you're a seasoned designer, cartoon artist, visual effects pro, compositor, or 3D mastermind, these shadows are designed to make your life easier. With everything you need to achieve a realistic look in one convenient package, you can say goodbye to tedious shadow creation and hello to endless creative possibilities. Our images were meticulously rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to optimize file size and content ratio. Shadows were captured from multiple angles - 25°, 45°, and straight on - in various directions, resulting in two versions: Hard shadows perfect for sunny scenes and Soft shadows ideal for cloudy conditions. Both are precision-crafted for use in 2D and 3D projects and feature zero noise. Simply choose the shadow that suits your design, apply it to your object, and use any deformer tool - like Photoshop's Transform or After Effects' Corner Pin effect - to deform the shadow into place. (Video tutorials are included.) The best part? You can mix and match between Hard and Soft shadows as you see fit, depending on the light conditions of your scene. And when it comes to shadows, remember that consistency is key.
