Great! I love this and can’t wait to try it out. But you didn’t say when it will be ready and I’ve bet almost every response to this blog has asked when it will be! If you can tell us, please do. I didn’t know this effect was possible. But I can think of a lot of uses for it! It’s amazing!

I love the new feature! I can’t wait for the next version of Box Shot to come out, it really does just keep getting better and better!

According to the schedule, you should grab your own copy of 2.11 in March

Looks interesting! Finally a boxshot tool for Mac users

Is it possible to create, modify, or even import 3d objekts with UV information??? That would be a really pro version…

TIA!

Box Shot 3D was designed to be an easy tool. Creating objects “from scratch” is not an easy thing, so it is better to find right tool for this task.

Maybe I’ll add import feature in the future versions, but usually the quality of objects, that you may find in the Internet, is not acceptable

If you need a shape that is missed now – just let me know via Contacts form.

Hi, I think the hardback book shape needs to be improved. The soft cover books (paperbacks) look fantastic, but the cased books do not look terribly realistic. Most of the hardback books will have a wrap around jacked – at the moment the hard cover is actually the cover. This is fine for cheaper hard back books, but for more classy and expensive hard back books one needs a jacket that goes around hard cover. Do you think you can incorporate this idea?

Just one more thing – the opened books/magazines look fabulous. Would it be possible to create variable depths of the books – at the moment it is fixed, so some books end up looking too thin or too fat.

Martin, I’ll put book jackets to the TODO-list.
It is not so easy to allow depth changing for opened books. I need to think about this.

Anyway thanks for ideas.

Yes please Jackets, that would be very handy indeed, and changing depths would be great to have, some books are like house bricks, very thick.

Cheers!

And could you please, please consider making it possible to save the generated files as Photoshop PSD or even TIFF format?

JPEG is so, well, lossy and who in their right mind would use BMP or PNG for print quality images?

PSD/TIFF – please!

Krizz, PNG and BMP are both lossless formats and may be used for printing exactly as TIFF.

TIFF is a container that may contain lots of data types. I work on it and may be add it in the next release.

The same for PSD. I’ll try to add it, but not right now.

great but please can’t you add timeline and keyframes so that one can manipulate the rotation and then export to video format?

Beautiful – I definitely think transparency for die-cuts (holes) will be a fantastic addition. The Suit-Sweetens – many thanks

I just STOPPED using Cheetah3D for product shots… I’ll continue with that application specifically when a product walk-around and demo is requested – which is a completely different stage of design for my clients.

so… SHAPES… hmmm a few more would always be welcoming.

Like “cylinders” — or — better yet cans or jars… NEVERTHELESS BoxShot3D fulfills the needs required. AND its FAST. I just noticed the “shape” bag slick… so a MILK CARTON – is very possible. looking forward. And Sweeeeeeeeet.

PDS files… layered… hmmmm – could be interesting to have ApplesCore Graphic Engine separate the SHADOWS, the SHAPE and the BACKGROUND. Maybe like the utility “layers” http://layersapp.com/ that takes and separates your screen captures.

As for PNGs – we this file format are very good for PRINTING. Besides you can change the rgb into cmyk if needed. PNGs are well suited for many reasons for example web graphics and anything that requires the background to be transparent.
HECK – I dont wish to spend time to create a clipping path… and a beautiful shadow with a drop off — transparency – THATs why you want a PNG!

A perfect example would be a PowerPoint document, you don’t want the white background from MOST flattened IMAGE file formats GONE… you can use PowerPoints colour select and make a solid colour vanish — but a PNG with its alpha-channel — the image appears already CLIPPED. A (PNG) well its a great FORMAT.
