Designers frequently need to add a separated flat shadow to their designs to create a more realistic look. However, extracting shadows from real objects can be challenging due to their non-solid nature. We have developed a solution that makes it easier for designers to work with shadows. Our 100% transparent shadows come with Ambient Occlusion added, making them perfect for use in various projects. These shadows are designed for professionals and beginners alike, including cartoon artists, visual effects artists, compositors, and 3D artists. They contain everything needed to create a realistic look, whether you're working on a 2D or 3D project. The images used to capture these shadows were rendered at 2000×2000 pixels with 16-bit depth per channel to prevent banding. We then cropped them to reduce file size and fit the content ratio. Shadows were captured from multiple angles, including 25°, 45°, and from directly above. Two versions of each shadow are provided: one for hard shadows used in sunny scenes and another for soft shadows used in cloudy scenes. Choose the shadow that suits your design best and apply it to the object. Use any deformer tool, such as the Transform tool in Photoshop or the Corner Pin effect in After Effects, to deform the shadow as needed. Video tutorials are available to guide you through this process. You can mix hard and soft shadows to create a more realistic look that matches your scene's lighting conditions. Remember, the key to creating a believable design is to understand how light interacts with objects.
