I am familiar with various e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Bol.com, and Shopify. I have over six years of experience as a 3D artist, product designer, team lead, and project manager for several agencies that cater to Amazon and Bol.com sellers.
My process begins with creating a concept for the entire listing. This includes determining the angle and product composition for the hero or main images, identifying the functions and highlights for infographic images, and designing an eye-catching lifestyle context to help customers better understand the product's functionality.
Once the concept is deliberated and finalized, I move on to the production phase, which involves creating the 3D model of the product. I utilize various software tools, including 3DS Max, Blender, and ZBrush, especially if intricate details are needed. After finalizing the model, I focus on texturing, lighting, and rendering, which are crucial for producing hyper-realistic images. It is essential to ensure that materials and textures accurately represent the right gloss and shades based on the material type, such as plastic, wood, or metal.
After rendering all angles and close-up shots, I proceed to post-processing using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. This phase includes graphic design for infographics, where creating attention-grabbing callouts and selecting appropriate fonts for headers and content are vital. Finalizing the lifestyle images also occurs at this stage, using Photoshop to add blurs and highlights that enhance their visual appeal.
