3D Shadow - Tree 25

How many times have designers needed to create a realistic flat shadow while working on their design? How often do they struggle to extract a shadow from a real object and fail? Shadows are notoriously difficult to manipulate because they're not solid. We've found the solution! Our team has created 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion added to make your work easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist who needs to add a shadow to their scene, these are for you and easy to use. They contain everything you need to create a realistic look for your project. Images were originally rendered at 2000x2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We then cropped them to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and from top in multiple directions. We saved two versions of shadow from each object: one Hard shadow for sunny scenes and another Soft shadow for cloudy scenes. They're excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects and are completely noiseless. Choose the shadow that suits your design and apply it to the object. Then, simply use any deformer tool like Photoshop's "Transform" tool or After Effects' "Corner Pin" effect (or an equivalent in other software) to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are attached for reference. You can mix between Hard and Soft shadows as you see fit, depending on your scene's light conditions. And remember, a shadow is a shadow - it won't change.
