When you are wanting to do a mockup of a product, you know how important it will be to have it look as realistic as possible. Whether it is for a product you want to sell, a new logo for your business, or perhaps a new sign you may be considering for your storefront, having a realistic digital mockup can give you and others a much better idea of how an item will look in the real world. If you want to have your digital mockups look much more realistic, here are some things you can try.
Reusable Mockup Templates
While customized templates are preferable, you can also create mockup templates that are reusable to get a very realistic look for your design. A very cost-effective measure, these templates will let you add a repeated style signature to your client presentations. If you go this route, use photo editing software and 3-D software like Adobe Dimension, which will let you create a digital mockup that is animated and rotatable.
Mockup Creator Software Plugin
If you have a new product mocked up already, chances are high that you made it in sketchup. While you could take a screenshot of a sketchup render, there are ways to make it look much more realistic. A sketchup rendering plugin will work very well for this application since it will give you tremendous room for customization as you make changes to your mockup. In moments, you will have a realistic render of your product. Just remember that the render may take longer than a traditional screenshot. But don’t worry. It’s worth the wait!
Mockup Generator Website
Using stock imagery and AI software, some websites will create your mockup from a third-party template. Once you upload your design, the software will handle the technical aspects of the mockup. If there is one major drawback to this method, it is that many designers use this type of service. As a result, your mockup may wind up looking very similar to other designs. If you are more concerned with ensuring your digital mockup looks both very realistic as well as original, it will be best to go with a plugin or create your own customized template for your design.
By trying some of these suggestions, you may soon find yourself hitting on the right formula to make your digital mockups look much more realistic. Once you do, any presentations you give to your clients will be spellbinding.
