How many times did you struggle to create a convincing flat shadow while working on your design? How often did you try to extract a shadow from an object but fail? Shadows can be tricky, since they're not solid. That's why we've come up with the solution! We've created 100% transparent shadows with Ambient occlusion to make your job easier. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor or 3D artist, these shadows are perfect for you and simple to use, containing everything you need to give your project a realistic look. The images were originally rendered at 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We cropped them to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from different angles - 25°, 45°, and straight on 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. These are excellent for use in both 2D and 3D projects, and they're 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. Finally, a shadow is just that - it won't change.
