Following the design slides from the brand manager, I took the product shots from the photo team, searched for suitable backgrounds on Shutterstock, and Photoshopped the products onto them.
For rendering, I use both KeyShot and Octane Renderer. The one above was done with Octane — it handles translucent plastic materials much better than KeyShot.
Typical Work 02: 3D Renderings
The brand manager sometimes sends me 3D models of the products to render. Other times, I build and render the models myself — like the one in the picture below.
For this line laser level, I first did the 3D rendering and then composited the render into a real-life scene using Photoshop.
A lot of times the photographers can’t capture every product angle we need.
The image on the right is a photo, while the first one on the left is a render. For example, when we needed a Shutterstock image of a model drinking water, the product photo’s perspective didn’t really match.
In that case, I had to create a render and composite it onto the model photo.
