3D Shadow - Tree 23

How many times do you think a single, flat shadow can be used to make your design look more realistic? How often have you tried to extract a shadow from an actual object only to fail miserably? The truth is, shadows are notoriously difficult to manipulate because they're not solid objects. That's why we've come up with the solution: 100% transparent shadows that incorporate Ambient Occlusion to make your work easier than ever. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects specialist, compositor, or 3D artist, our shadows are for you and incredibly easy to use. They contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your project, no matter how complex. Our images were originally rendered at an incredible 2000x2000 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 - 25°, 45°, and directly above - in multiple directions. We saved two versions of each shadow: one for sunny scenes (hard shadows) and another for cloudy scenes (soft shadows). They're perfect for use in both 2D and 3D projects and are completely noise-free. Choose the shadow that suits your design best 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 - to deform the shadow (video tutorials included). You can mix and match between hard and soft shadows as you see fit, depending on the lighting conditions of your scene. Shadows are shadows and will never change. They're a crucial element in creating realistic images and scenes.
