3D Shadow - Tree 15

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 fail? Shadows are notoriously difficult to manipulate because they aren't solid objects. Fortunately, we've solved this problem with 100% transparent shadows that include Ambient Occlusion to make your work easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects expert, compositor or 3D artist, these shadows are designed for you and easy to use, containing everything you need to achieve a realistic look in your project. The 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 multiple angles - 25°, 45° and from directly above - in various directions. We saved two versions of each shadow: a Hard Shadow for sunny scenes and a Soft Shadow for cloudy scenes. These shadows are perfect for use in 2D and 3D projects and are completely noiseless. Simply choose the shadow that suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, use any deformer tool like the "Transform" tool in Photoshop or the "Corner Pin" effect in After Effects (or equivalent tools in other software) to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are attached. You can mix and match between Hard and Soft Shadows as you see fit, depending on the lighting conditions of your scene. Remember, shadows are a fundamental aspect of any design and should never be overlooked.
