Custom mug marketing images

[FlyingAl]

Hi all,

Just throwing something out here to guage interest.

I've been following a recent thread related to photographing mugs

http://www.dyesubforum.co.uk/vbforum...ographing-mugs

I know how difficult it is to get the perfect photograph of a mug that does your product service and the work involved.

I can offer a service of supplying high quality photographic 3D model 'renders' of mugs for use in marketing/websites/leaflets etc using your OWN artwork on the mug.

Would this service be of interest to anyone here? like I say, I'm just throwing this out there to guage interest or if it's a waste of time.

Below is an example of one of my own designs applied to the 3D model to show what I mean.

Any comments appreciated.

Cheers

Al,

questions that I'm sure others will ask are:

a. Can you offer 3 angles of the design (front, centre and rear of the mug) to see the design in all areas of the mug.

b. The price!

Looks good though :-)

Hi Adam,

Yep, as it's a 3D model I can render it from any angle whatsoever, I'll post a sample 3 mug image shortly to give you an idea what it would look like.

Unsure of cost yet, just gauging interest, just a few quid I imagine, as I've already modelled the mug, applying other artwork and re-rendering is easy, not looking to make a living out of it :)

Does look good :-) Is that photo a graphic mug representation or a polymer mug?

Hey Justin,

I based that model on a regular ceramic 'wycombe' mug, a fairly generic mug.

I love the idea but it would depend on how the finished item looked, as Adam said - views, contours etc. I tried doing an upload your custom vinyl onto a car website with my brother (he writes code for a living) and the results were spectacularly unappealing - even with the uploaded image recognising contours on the template.

Hi Sarahjayne,

I haven't used any car vinyl sites myself so I'm unsure of the quality of their output, the sample image I posted is a 'final' quality image just using my own artwork on the model. I'll post up more renders with other artwork applied to the same mug model shortly.

As requested by Adam, a 3D render of the mug from 3 angles to show off a full wrap design.

Hi Al,
