3D Shadow - Tree 62

How many times have you found yourself struggling to create a realistic design, desperately needing a separate flat shadow to bring it to life? How often have you attempted to extract a shadow from an actual object, only to be left frustrated and disappointed? The truth is, shadows can be notoriously difficult to manipulate - they're not solid objects after all! But don't worry, we've got the solution for you. We've created 100% transparent shadows with Ambient Occlusion added, making it easy to work with and perfect for designers, cartoon artists, visual effects artists, compositors, and even 3D artists. Whether you need to add a shadow to your scene or create a realistic look for your project, these shadows are tailored to meet your needs. We captured images from different angles - 25°, 45°, and straight on - in multiple directions, then saved two versions of each shadow: one for sunny scenes (hard shadow) and the other for cloudy scenes (soft shadow). These noiseless shadows are perfect for use in both 2D and 3D projects. Choose which one suits your design best 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 other software) to deform the shadow. (Video tutorials are included below.) You can mix and match between hard and soft shadows as you see fit, depending on the light conditions of your scene. Remember, a shadow is always just a shadow - it won't change.
