3D Shadow - Tree 21

How many times have designers needed a separate flat shadow to make their design look more realistic? How often did they want to extract a shadow from a real object, only to fail? Shadows are notoriously hard to manipulate because they're not solid. Here's the solution! We've created 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion added to simplify your workflow. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist needing to add a shadow to your scene, these are for you and easy to use, containing everything you need to achieve a realistic look for your project. Images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. They were cropped to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles at 25°, 45°, and from top in multiple directions. We saved two versions of shadow 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 excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects and are 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.) You can mix between hard and soft shadows as you like, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Shadow is shadow, and it will never change.
