Package render

[devviktoria (Viktória Simon)]

I did a graphic design course last year. We had to create a package design too. Now I created a 3D representation of my design and I would like to include this in my portfolio. I would like to get some feedback on what is working on this already and how can I improve this. I attached the rendered image and the post processed image. Thank you in advance.

Here is the rendered image:

Here is the image after I did some post processing in GIMP:

i think it looks great !
the one on the left has better feeling couse its lighter i think !

I like the boxes, nice touch with slightly bent upper parts, adds realism.
I don’t know if you are using texture with transparency - if so, then you can easily add some reflectivity to non-transparent parts, by using alpha as a mask.

I would not expect the actual reflection of the box on the floor to include the details of the box. And, in any actual product-shot, this would (IMHO) be “unwanted.” I’d simply set the pieces on a flat plane with a very-slight gradient. Any “shadow action” would probably be “optional.” And then, only for the boxes themselves.

Your rendering of “The Almighty Product” is very fine. However, in every product shot, you want to be very sure that nothing might distract the viewer’s attention from: “TAP!™” Including any unnecessary reflections.

The rendering is pretty good - modeling, texturing, & graphic design are all very nice.

I agree that the reflection is a little heavy handed.

The lighting is pretty flat, but the gradient from the overly glossy background is distracting. Soft, flat light works best on a soft background. You could try higher contrast lighting with a dark glossy background for a different vibe.

The arrangement of products seems a little haphazard for a product shot.

In my work I make 3D renders of cartons for inclusion on the customer website from the dieline art I finished for them. They usually only want one sku per image and a minimum of four angles including front, quarter left/right, top and back.

This kind of render looks more like an advertisement shot, and so I’d suggest to be deliberate with how you use your positive and negative space and use dramatic lighting.

Looking good.

Thank you everyone for your feedback It was very valuable.
Here is what I came up with. I hope this is better. The first image is the render, the second two are post processed images.
