Extra Features you get free in 3D Box Shot Version 3!

3D Box Shot Version 3 also features a background image function. So what? I hear you say... We'll the big deal with the background image function is that it can be animated! This opens up a world of possibilities and with a little imagination, there's no end to what you can create. Here a quick example that took a couple of minutes to produce. It's was designed to be a stylish introduction to a home holiday video:

This was made by using a world map as the background image then using the "Webdings" font to create the plane. The background image was then panned and zoomed while the plane remains stationary.

There are simpler uses for the background effect. Simply placing your box shot on the following background effectively communicates that your product runs on Windows XP:

You could achieve the same effect with any background image that has a strong visual association with a particular subject matter. Using 3D Box Shot V3 You can also put your box shot on top of a screen shot:

Can 3D Box Shot make different types of software boxes?

3D Box Shot comes complete with a series of box templates in a range of shapes and sizes. These include standard retail boxes, over slip boxes, Standard CD’s, slim CD’s, standard DVD cases and Slim DVD cases. If there’s a different size box that you’d like us to include in the program please email us with the details.

And 3D Screen Shots...

With 3D Box Shot you can also make 3D screen shots. Adding a small amount of perspective to a screen shot image can really make it stand out from the page. Here's an example screen shot of the windows calculator made with 3D Box Shot:

Three Products in One!

When we originally launched 3D Box Shot, we made the decision to produce a separate product for the eBook market called 3D eBook Shot. While both of these programs were based on the same engine, as development continued, they began to drift apart. This resulted in both products becoming harder to maintain.

When we decided to produce a third product for making 3D Mug images, imaginatively called 3D Mug Shot, it occurred to us that it would make much more sense to bring all three products under one roof. As a result, when you purchase either 3D Box Shot or 3D eBook Shot, you’ll actually be buying 3D Pack Shot. 3D Pack Shot includes 3D Box Shot as well as 3D eBook Shot and 3D Mug Shot at no extra cost. It really is three programs for the price of one!

Why doesn't 3D Box Shot have built in design tools so I can design my own box shot images?

3D Box Shot was originally developed as tool for packaging designers to help them create 3D Images and videos of their art work. It doesn't have any pretensions to be Adobe Photoshop. Unless you have already designed your packaging, or have a product you can scan, then 3D Box Shot won’t help you.

But this isn’t a bad thing. The sort of woefully inadequate, half baked design elements included in some box shot products just result in bland looking boxes that look painfully amateur. Competent designers would run mile from such things. Presenting an amateur looking box shot to your customers is far worse than having no box shot at all.

At best, such products perpetuate the idea that good design is somehow irrelevant to online sales, at worst they result in horrible looking product images that would make anyone with a modicum of taste run screaming to the hills. Leave design to the designers. Good design isn’t expensive, so don’t cut corners where the whole world can see it.

If you are considering designing your own packaging, at the very least, you need a layer based image editing tool like Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop or the Gimp. Rinky dink box shot design packages don't have anything remotely approaching the feature set of professional design tools like Photoshop, nor is it realistic to expect them to. All they can offer is a shaby compromise. Ask yourself, is this what you want for your products?
