The project was twofold: crafting dynamic imagery for the retail packaging and producing an engaging animation for the product launch, highlighting its features and innovations.Blending 3D Models with Real Food Photography
In our quest to bring the air fryer's unique selling points to life, we blended 3D models with real food photography.
