How many times did you struggle with creating a convincing flat shadow in your designs? How often did you attempt to extract a shadow from an object, only to fall short? Shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate due to their intangible nature. Fortunately, we have the solution! Our team has developed 100% transparent shadows, complete with Ambient Occlusion to simplify your workflow. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects specialist, compositor, or 3D artist in need of adding a shadow to your scene, these shadows are perfect for you and effortless to use, containing everything required to achieve a realistic look for your project. Images were originally rendered at 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding, then cropped to reduce file size and maintain the content ratio. Shadows were captured from various angles - 25°, 45°, and from above in multiple directions - before saving two versions of each shadow: one Hard shadow suitable for sunny scenes and a soft shadow ideal for cloudy conditions. Both are ideal for use in 2D and 3D projects, with the added bonus of being noiseless. Choose the shadow that best suits your design and apply it to the object; then, simply utilize any deformer tool like Photoshop's "Transform" feature or After Effects' "Corner Pin" effect (or its equivalent in other software) to deform the shadow. Video tutorials are provided for further guidance. You can mix and match between hard and soft shadows as desired, depending on the lighting conditions of your scene. Shadows remain a constant aspect of any scene, refusing to change.
