Hello guys !
I had a client who asked me to do "emergency photo" because they had to go to sell their product in middle east.
Here is what the client ask :
"Francois, we have a solar package for our customers and we absolutely need a beautiful photo, can you do this in 1 night ? Our products are ugly, we need enhancment, and we absolutely need it for tomorow !!!"
Here is the photos they sent me of their products :
Here is the render I provide them (I didn't said it was CGI of course :D )
(I think my clients had an orgasm when they wake up the morning and open their mailbox ;D )
Thanks Keyshot !

Hahaha....that's brilliant. With work like that KeyShot pays for itself....over and over.
Awesome! A great story.
This in just incredible Francois! Wow, love the orange. I bet they did flip out to, hahhahha. Must have been a good chunk of change!
it's a nice result, love the colors..
well, I don't wanna be nit-picking, but let's be honest: the leather case doesn't look anything like the real reference.. if I'd be the client the fact that my product doesn't look the same may be really bothering to me.. I'm just saying, doesn't matter if there's a day or more for the result, accuracy is important and everything is about the details.. imagine the customers surprise after ordering this product based on your "photo" and getting completely different case.. I agree that the overall look is better than the reference photo for sure, but my point is there's a different product on yours..
@Furo maybe they'll decide to change their case to make it look like Francois's case ;)

@ Furo : after 8 hours of work by night, the final result has just to be enhanced, it was the principal purpose.
I think if I had 1 week to touch myself about the details you are talking about, I would provide a different result. (Sorry, my english is very bad but I think you understood what I think of your post).
Oh, Furo, I forget something :
(it's not necessary to answer to this tread, I had enough from you).
LOL - excellent!!!!
Francois, amazing work in 8 hours and to produce a product "photo" from awful reference pictures. Did you have to create new graphics for the labels as well?

by submitting your image to the public gallery forum you should expect different types of reactions.. I wasn't offensive,
my criticism was constructive and legitimate, if you're not able to handle well-intentioned criticism, you should mention it next to your images in the first post next time.. as far as you was clearly expecting positive reactions only I'm sorry if I crocked your ego.. as you wish,
I will not post to your thread anymore
Welcome to my world ! Take it from me. Your life will pass by you working at that kind of pace.
Nice work ! Great example of Keyshot at it's best.
Thanks for sharing.

hahahahahhahhahhaa
le big Mac,
excellent!!!, j'ai bien ri, merci :))))

Francois, thanks so much for sharing this, and especially the story behind it. It's an excellent example of what you can do when your CAD and rendering apps work together seamlessly, and the skill behind them is equal to the task. When you are self-employed, the bottom line is what the client needs. Nothing more (have to watch the budget) and never nothing less. You gave him what he needed, when he needed it. Good job!
Early this morning a client called me as he was boarding the plane in San Diego, California, for a 45 minute flight to Fremont. He was in a panic, as they needed a change to the design. I dropped everything, made the changes in SolidWorks and added it into the existing KeyShot .bip. I moved the original down, and quickly copy/pasted the material over. I did not use retain materials, as it can act up at times, and I didn't have time to deal with it. So cool that the decals also transfer over, as long as you select the surface (part) that it was applied to. Hid the original and rendered it out.
Bottom line- he had new, updated renderings when he got off the plane, in plenty of time for his presentation.
He's a happy client, and will be back for more, just as will your client for you.

Nice job Francois! We've all been in those tight situations; keyshot has definitely saved my bacon a couple of times.
Two comments on the render itself:
1) The backlit main [body mist] bottle looks quite synthetic on the orange background- The background would show through the bottle in real life, or if that makes the image too "dead", at least reflect some of the orange on the sides of the cap and glass?
2) The clear plastic on the case doesn't read quite right- perhaps add some subtle ripples/ waviness to the plastic to pick up a highlight?
I have troubles making clear lenses looking right- if anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Great job!
He only had eight hours to complete this. Do the best you can do then ship it out and hope for the best.
^^understood; was meant as constructive criticism, not a put-down.
I already know my image is not perfect (I'm not stupid) :
I just wanted to show you what I did in one night thanks to Keyshot because I was proud of it.
Do you really think this is my best image ever ??? It's full of mistakes !!! :D

In the end it comes down to one thing - if the client likes it who cares?
