Box Shot 3D 2.13

November 23rd, 2009

Yes, it has been finally released! What’s new:

  • Some boxes can be opened
  • Book stacks can be customized in various ways
  • Hard cover books can have dust jacket
  • Height and specular maps added to materials
  • Improved shadows and reflections of transparent objects
  • Mac version can be controlled using Apple Script

Most of features were already discussed here, so go and grab your copy of 2.13. I believe that it has no bugs, but it can, so feel free to report if you find something.

Comments are welcome :)

Thanks, this new version and cool new features looks great! :)

Bug:

At “Stack of Books” shape, “Soft Cover Book with Rounded Corners” can NOT be selected for “Book on Top” option. (Win: 2.13)

Hi Vitaly,

Thanks for the update! I ‘m currently looking into it and found this problem thus far (mac version): I can select “Box with curved top” and “box with hard edges”, but I don’t see a box, nor can I select an image.

As a sidenote I must admit that I found it easier to see the images right in the window instead of using this dialog box; but I suppose I will get used to the new workflow. :)

bjorn, thanks, see it. I’ll release a fixed version tomorrow, if nothing new will be found.

13 is a bad number after all :)

Starting from 2.13 you can assign several images to the side and there is no space to show them all. That’s why I used new controls. Actually, Windows users never saw previews at all :)

Will, it looks great! :)
tk, the boxes will appear today in version 2.13.1.
As regards to dust jacket: do you have any problems with them? Just select “Book” shape, and then “Hard cover book with dust jacket” type. And just assign jacket image to “Jacket XXX” sides. That’s all, exactly as with front/side/back sides of book.
