Use these software tools to easily create boxshots, screenshots and sample photos (for your portfolio, for example). I made a research, and here are my picks.
I tried couple of tools.
- Box Shot 3D v2.9.2: Incredibly simple, but very configurable. My favorite.
- Insofta Cover Commander 2.91 : Great interface. Only, it looks like renderings are of lower quality than in Box Shot 3D. My favorite.
- True BoxShot (True BoxShot Standalone v1.7, or True BoxShot for Photoshop v.1.1.2, or TBS Cover Editor v.1.1.1) : Cover editor is mora an vector-bitmap editing application, then an simply an “box effect applier” – and it’s very impressive. But, I dont need that. And, the other two are solid, but not spectacular.
- Cover Expert 1.6 : Solid one. Not so versatile collection of objects, but has an unique feature in ability to mix more than one object on a single scene.
- Quick 3D Cover : Bad rendering, but interesting selection of objects – included are computer monitors, mobile phones, etc.
- 3D Real Boxshot v4.0: There are two reasons why I did not test it and I did not installed any demo of this application. The first one is really disappointing screen shots on a badly designed website, and the second one is that company does make a lot of software totally unrelated to one another. And, I don’t like companies that do that (excluding Adobe).
- eCover Engineer v5.5 : The screenshots are not spectacular, so I decided not to try it.
And, I will mention others that are really amateur effort:
- Just BoxShots, 3D Box Shot Maker (freeware), 3D ProductBox
