The ultimate tool for simulating Shadows in After Effects. 3D shadows are notoriously slow to render, so fake it. Works based on the alpha channel just like the regular drop shadow but with results so gorgeous they’ll be mistaken for 3D.

FEATURES:
– 3 main modes: regular, inner & radial
– Fine control over falloff (opacity, distance and softness)
– 5 stylistic presets to get instant results
– 32bpc color precision
– Powerful quality controls to optimise render times
– GPU acceleration for blazing fast results

What’s New : v1.1.3
