Hi all,
we have released a new version of our icon authoring software with a couple of new features. One of the fancy ones is the ability to create projected shadows similar to the ones found in some Vista icons.
Shadow effect (see the attached screenshot) is created by simply dragging from a point where the object touches ground upwards. Of course it is not a real shadow, but the results are definitely worth the effort.
RealWord Icon Editor can edit simple 3D models and create icons directly from them. Other scenarios such as image to icon conversion, icon extraction, etc. are also supported.

Enjoy,
V.
