Shapes library — more than 70 customizable shapes: boxes, books, mugs, CDs, DVDs, cans and much more;
Automatic resize — shapes are automatically adjusted to fit the artwork;
Customization — almost all the shapes are parametric, so you can configure them a lot;
Books — many customizable book shapes included: hard-cover books, paperbacks, and magazines, open and closed, standing or lying down;
Composing tools — Boxshot can stack, align, and distribute scene objects the way you need;
CAD shapes — Boxshot has highly customizable parametric objects that can do bottles, cans and various containers using the provided outlines;
Shrink wrap — Boxshot can simulate heat–shrink film for wrapping objects;
External shapes — it doesn't matter how many shapes are provided: there is always one missing. No problem! Drop a shape into the scene and Boxshot will load it for you;
Physics — Boxshot can simulate physical interaction between scene objects;
Extending library — any shape including the external ones can be added back to the library for further re-using.

Material types — all the main material types are supported: metals, plastics, paint, glass, liquid, etc;
Physically-based — Boxshot simulates all the necessary physics behinds the scene, so materials look realistic;
Full control — you can control reflection, transmission, roughness and bump with parameters or textures;
Printing effects — Boxshot supports UV-spot and foil printing effects;
Decals — place extra artwork as decals where needed. Boxshot supports unlimited customizable decals;
Artwork formats — all the main image formats, including AI, PSD and PDF are supported;
Color profiles — Boxshot supports images in CMYK and other color spaces and cares about color profiles;
Default materials — every shape comes with default materials, so in most cases you simply need to replace the artwork;
Materials library — the built-in materials library has more than 200 sample materials so you don't start from scratch.

Physically-based rendering — the built-in path-tracing engine makes your renderings look so realistic, your customers may think that it's a photo;
Linear workflow — Boxshot does all the math in linear color space, so the gamma correction issues don't affect the colors;
HDR processing — all the processing is done with 32 bit precision (per channel) for perfect output quality;
High resolution — resolutions of up to 16384x16384 pixels are supported;
Lighting — Boxshot uses image-based lighting with HDR environment image, but you can also have directional and omni lights where needed;
Shadows — you can configure nice shadows by positioning the built-in "sun" object;
Depth of field — Boxshot can simulate the lens by blurring the out-of-focus parts of the scene for more realistic results;
Transparent background — you can turn the background off if needed;
Output formats — Boxshot can save to most image formats, including 32-bit PSD and EXR formats.

Raster images — Boxshot reads and writes JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and PSD formats;
Vector images — Boxshot reads Adobe Illustrator (AI) and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files;
Color spaces and profiles — CMYK and other color spaces, as well as embedded color profiles are fully supported;
HDR images — Boxshot reads and writes high definition range images in HDR, EXR and PSD formats;
Importing 3D models — Boxshot reads FBX, 3DS, OBJ, Collada formats, as well as STL, PLY and DXF formats;
3D models editing — you can edit normals, texture mapping and visibility of external models' elements;
Exporting 3D models — Boxshot exports to OBJ, Collada and 3D PDF formats.

Render later — you can queue up scenes and render them later when needed;
Batch rendering — Boxshot lets you render the same scene with many images to create a set of similar objects;
Animations — Boxshot supports turn-table, transition, and oscillation animations;
Scripting — almost every shape in Boxshot is scriptable, so you can control the whole scene with code;
Rendering jobs — Boxshot supports complex rendering scenarios by using job files which combine projects, artwork and scripts into a single XML file;
Command line support — Boxshot can make, convert and render scenes and jobs completely without user interface by using command line switches.
