DEFINITION
Contact Shadows
The small, dark shadows that appear where furniture touches the floor, essential for photorealistic staging.
Contact shadows are the thin, dark shadows where an object meets a surface. In virtual staging, accurate contact shadows make furniture look like it's actually sitting on the floor rather than floating. AI staging models are trained to generate these shadows matching the room's existing light direction.
