3D Business Card Mockup in Blender 2.8

[@csmemarketing]

As a Graphic Designer myself who moved into 3D, this is a much needed tutorial. Thank You Sir!!!

[@DerekElliott]

Perfect! What else do I need to make to fully turn you in to a 3D'er!?

[@csmemarketing]

@@DerekElliott I'm actually deep into 3d now, using Blender since 2016, dabbled Cinema 4D before that. I'd say do more Logo Animations, and building company signs in Blender. I already make time lapse videos of those, but detailed tuts like yours would help the fans.

[@iwasink]

@@DerekElliott Please keep making videos like this. I'm barely about to jump onto the 3d train and your videos are making it a lot easier. It's like your the 3d conductor...all aboard! lol Already a supporter on patreon. Please make more videos like this. I'm specially interested in packaging. How to make simple boxes folding/ unfolding + mograph.

[@DerekElliott]

@@iwasink mmmm I love boxes! Happy to be your conductor lol. Thanks for being a patron

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@csmemarketing THough i think for animations wise, c4d has more power.

[@KharaokeTube]

This is a frickin' lifesaver. I'm applying for a new job and don't have extra money for an expensive set of mockups so this comes in handy. Thank you Derek!!!

Hello, Derek. These tutorials are fantastic. I'm a graphic designer learning 3D for presentations, and your tutorials are exactly what I'm looking for. I'm going to binge watch all of your videos right now.😄

Yes but you'll just have to have a good understanding of doing this in the node editor. Hard to tell exactly what your situation is but I'm sure you can do what you're looking to do

[@DerekElliott]

Maybe you have a limit method on

[@spannzoid]

really cool tutorial. One question, is there a reason you used a long focal length instead of an orthographic camera?

[@DerekElliott]

It's all just style preference but I tend to like using a long focal length when I'm trying to be a bit more realistic. Orthographic will remove perspective right away though so if that's all you're after then it's good there. I do use Ortho for more stylized work though.

Assign appears under the list of materials in the material properties menu. However it only appears if you are in edit mode (not Object mode). Ensure you are in edit and you have a specific 'face' selected in the object to assign the material.

is there any way to put these mockup into photoshop mockup? i think that would be cool

Nice, welcome!

[@DargDazZ]

I don't see any noise in final render, how he does it?

[@RomboutVersluijs]

PS wished they added the randomness to the array modifier. There was a build once couple years back. Was super handy for making the pile look better. but with an empty it can also be done.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Whats so nice about tiktok. seen it popup now and then, seems to be getting a hype

[@DerekElliott]

No idea just trying it out now

@@DerekElliott I got some model somewhere using this method. Used it for this shot www.dropbox.com/s/q4cpm0l4vb4n1bv/Businesscard_Presentation_Jan2017_POST-B2.jpg?raw=1

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I think i found it. I actually used the array as a start. Then i used a copy loc and copy rot and applied the array modifier. No each card has this copy loc and rot and i set its influence different for lots of them. I think i did do that manually, but it would be easier to that by script. Here's a scene of one card setup. this one was square though www.filedropper.com/businesscardsbasicmodelsstapple

nicely done but pack in all those card in a perfect square, it make it look too *perfect and clean,* which are two main enemy of photo realism in 3D rendering.

black in a texture is the same as zero in an input field, white being 1

pleaseeeee pleaseee make logo mockup in blender as well i have been trying to do it since long but none of em as good as psd mockups and i cant buy adobe photoshop, i dont know what i m doing wrong. what i have noticed is lights from light souce kills the mockup quality

[@MichaelSilber79]

I'm working through this tutorial, I used a card design that has rounded corners and imported a png with the corners rounded already, when I change the Blender made it fills int he rounded corners with black? Should I bring in a square design and use blender to make the corners rounded ( I have no idea how to d that either, lol ) or do you have a fix for the alpha that's turning black?

[@DerekElliott]

Yeah you may have to adjust some material settings for transparent in Eevee but probably better to model the card with rounded corners

[@Laughboy666]

hey ma man - nice tutoriels - question (I don't think it was said - or asked) - what was the pixel count on the PNG for the business card files? thx

Hello everyone! So I am newbie to blender But I really like the concept making 3d stuff and also l like beautiful UI designs, I sometimes make UI designs for different apps on Photoshop (mobile version, it's pretty old but works) So I don't have a powerful pc, I have a laptop with an i3 which also isn't much powerful to probably render these blender stuff So I was thinking about getting a vps (as I saw some people on Reddit saying how they render blender stuff on their vps) So do you guys have any recommendations of where to start learning blenders and get familized with the tools that would be helpful

[@theusmabit]

Hey Derek, I would like to create stationery mockups, but I realized that working with this plugin (import image as planes) is difficult to assemble because I would need to define several thicknesses for each component of the mockup, well, I started creating the mockup without the plugin and manually, just using cube and plane and adding solidify with the thickness I want (in this case I was working with the mm unit) but the layout is buggy, if I zoom in, the objects are broken. Is there any way to fix this? ***OBS: Your work é amazing, please continue with this and thank you!!!

Can I use technique with round or any other shape? In render mode it actually shows a black box around round shape. Is there a fix for it?

You would have to model the shape. If you just use an image like a png it might look funny even if it does make the transparent parts clear
