What Is BoxShot3D?
Well, chances are, if you are on this page, you already know! However, I thought I may as well quickly describe what it is in case any of you don’t know.
BoxShot3D is a piece of software that enables you to produce realistic images of product boxes, books and ebooks, CDs, DVDs, drink cans, bottles and more using ordinary 2D images.
You will find, for example, that if you want to sell an ebook online, you will sell more if you have a product image looks like a real book. With BoxShot3D you can use just a front cover image although you should really have a side (or spine) image as well. The final image has shadows, reflections, highlighting so that it looks just like you took a photo of whatever it is you’re selling.
I used to do all this manually and it was tedious and the result was very… “ordinary”, shall we say. Sure, I got faster the more I did it but it was still time-consuming, and, since I am not a graphic artist, the result was not what I would have liked.
BoxShot3D was a definite boon – select the shape, provide an image or two, click Render and after a few minutes (more or less depending on the size) I had an image that was preofessionally done.
Seriously, if someone as graphically-challeneged as I am (you’ve seen this site!) can produce a professional product image using it, anyone can.
There is a lot more that can be done with BoxShot3D but that will be covered in the full review. Stay tuned and I’ll hope to have the review done in the next couple of days.
