3D Box

Create box shot images of the product. The first step to marketing the CD/DVD is to create 3D box shot images to use on the sales pages we created. To create these 3D box shots, we use Quick 3D Covers. To create the box shots, we start with the templates we created using DVD Design Pack, and save the front cover and the spine of the DVD case as .jpg images. We also save the disc cover as a .jpg image. We import those images into Quick 3D covers, and create boxshots with white backgrounds, saving at 600X600 pixels, 300X300 pixels, 200X200 pixels, and 175X175 pixels. These are the sizes we need for product shots on our web pages, our ads, and for Amazon.

In a new project, create a shape. This is going to be the wall receiving your light transmission so make it nearly the complete size of your composition. We're going to shift it's orientation to easily receive light and we want it to be easy to see so make it a light color. To shift it's orientation and have 'material' qualities it must be a 3D object so be sure and check the little 3D box once you have defined it.
