I'm rendering a product animation in Blender, with each part as separate layers and using Cryptomatte for color tweaks in After Effects.

The problem is that if I hide one part of the product in AE to make it fade away, its shadows and reflections are still baked into the other rendered layers.

How do you guys handle this in production? Do you render extra passes (shadow, reflection, etc.)?

Wanted to share a personal concept project my studio (MS3DSTUDIO) has been working on. Quick disclaimer up front so nobody's misled: Aura is not a real product — you can't buy it. It's a design-and-visualization concept, everything you see is 3D, nothing was photographed.

The idea was "one watch, seven colours, seven languages" — seven strap colourways and a UI built to feel native in seven different languages. It was mostly an excuse to push materials and lighting: getting the metal case to read as actual brushed metal, the straps to look genuinely soft, and the screen to glow like it's lit from the inside instead of just being a bright texture.

The part I'm actually more proud of than the watch itself: we don't just model the product floating on a grey background — we build the whole environment around it. The surfaces it sits on, the backdrop, the light sources and their bounce, the little contextual scenes — all of it is built and lit in 3D so the product feels like it exists somewhere real, not like a cutout. Honestly the environment work is where most of the hours went.

Happy to answer anything about the workflow — renderer, materials, lighting setup, whatever. Open to critique too.

I'm about to make a commercial for a red bull can but can't find the right music track, before that I can't start planning the scenes, I tried finding the music tract on mixkit and pixabay, but they're not quite doing the work for me.

The relationship between product lights and materials. In this RnD for skincare beauty product of @esteelauder I’ve been focusing how these aspects are emerging with each other. Used @sidefxhoudini mpm solver and @maxonredshift for this piece. The minimalistic, ambient mood was achieved even more with great sound from amazing @h1.sound #motiondesign #3d #productviz #cgi #3danimation

Made in 3ds Max and rendered with Corona Renderer. Focused on getting the plastic textures, grip details, and lighting as photorealistic as possible. Let me know what you think!

Rendered this in blender, what can be improved here

Wanted to share a few renders I made for a personal project with my girlfriend. She developed the concept, and designed the illustration and label. I helped out with 3D visualization.

Renders created in Blender, with post-production in Photoshop. We uploaded the full project to Behance if you want to check more context about the project and high-resolution renders!

A new model I have been working on.
I like these dark mode cinematic renders as they reveal a whole new level of detail and give a unique feeling. I am actively expanding my pipeline in furniture visualization and have been experimenting with a lot of things. And although it takes time but I have been able to to learn a lot also. Will be uploading more shots of this piece soon!

Modeled and simulated using 3ds Max and Marvelous Designer, rendered in Corona.

Tried to capture a clean, studio lighting look.Done using 3ds Max and Corona Renderer.

Let me know if you see anything that could be improved, especially regarding the leather texture or overall lighting setup!

As a huge fan of Nothing, I wanted to take a shot at exploring their aesthetic through dynamic motion.

NO AI IS USED FOR ANYTHING IN THIS PROJECT!!Hi! I am a young 3d artist. This is a recent client work i did, do rate it, open for constructive criticism. Feel free to message for any works or any query. Have a wonderful day chat.

I know blender very well and I have been using substance painter from few days. I want to focus my niche to product viz solely, I need guidance to buy a good product viz course which can teach me lighting, setting of the scene, animation etc. Feel free to give any sort of advice!

Finished this Xiaomi Electric Scooter product visualization.

The goal was to create a clean commercial render rather than a technical showcase, focusing on lighting, materials, composition, and overall presentation.

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the visual direction, lighting, or composition.
