Yeah, I know there have been a few versions since the last post. I’d like to review each version as it comes out but I have been busy so I will bring you up to date on the latest version which is Box Shot 3D version 3.6.
I have been using Box Shot 3D for a few years now and it just keeps getting better and better. Since version 3.1 many new shapes have been added – quite a few as a result of user requests. However, you can also import 3DS files if the shape you are after is not there as standard.
Best of all, you can have multiple shapes in a scene. This provides tremendous flexibility as you could have, for example, coffee mugs, DVDs and a book in a scene.
Please keep in mind that any images shown here are compressed JPEGs to reduce page load time so the image quality is not going to be spectacular. Don’t let that confuse you. Box Shot 3D generates print quality images.
There is a number of sample scenes to get you started quickly a couple of which are shown below.
I have been impressed with what can be achieved in a very short time using Box Shot 3D. On one of my sites I use it extensively to generate images of printed books for sale. I simply scan the cover then use Box Shot 3D to generate a realistic looking image of one or a stack of books. It is far, far quicker than getting the camera out, setting up the lights, arranging the book and taking the photo. Box Shot 3d is a tremendous time saver for me.
Download a fully functional trial version and see for yourself what it can do for you. I guarantee you won’t regret it.
Oh, and it is available on Macs and Windows.
