3D Shadow - Tree 59

How many times do designers need a separate flat shadow to make their designs look more realistic? How often have they wanted to extract a shadow from a real object but failed? Shadows can be tricky to manipulate because they're not solid objects. Here, we've found the solution! We created 100% transparent shadows with ambient occlusion added to simplify your work. Whether you're a designer, cartoon artist, visual effects artist, compositor, or 3D artist, and you need to add a shadow to your scene, these shadows 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 the 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 each shadow: one is a hard shadow used in sunny scenes, and the other is a soft shadow used in cloudy scenes. They're 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 the equivalent in any other software to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are included.) You can mix between hard and soft shadows as you like, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Finally, remember that a shadow is just a shadow and will never change its form.
