3D Shadow - Tree 43

How often do designers need to add a realistic flat shadow to their work? How many times have they struggled to extract a shadow from an object and failed? Shadows can be difficult to manipulate because they are not solid. Here, we offer the solution! We 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, these shadows are for you and easy to use, containing everything needed to create 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. Two versions of shadows from the same object are provided: Hard shadow for sunny scenes and soft shadow for cloudy scenes. These shadows are excellent for use in 2D and 3D projects and are noiseless. Choose a 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 an equivalent in another 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. Finally, a shadow is a shadow and will never change.
