✅ Part 3: Lighting and Compositing - Apple's Signature Render

Illuminate your iPhone model by recreating Apple's signature product rendering. This module deciphers the enigma behind the pristine lighting and compositing that Apple is renowned for. With a blend of advanced lighting techniques and expert compositing practices, your renderings will mirror the allure of Apple's product showcases.

In this part, we will create 3 different lighting setups and 3 individual renderings. We will then compose those renderings in Photoshop together as we can get only that way the desired result.

✅ Part 4: iPhone Case Design

Shift your focus to the protective elegance of iPhone cases. Here, you'll deploy specialized subdivision modeling techniques to conceive a perfect case, ready for real-world applications and tailored to meet potential client specifications. This module transforms theory into tangible product design.

✅ Part 5: iPhone Scene Development

In this extensive module, spanning over 5+ hours, we journey through the meticulous process of scene development. We commence with a unique approach by drafting our scene using AI-based tools for concept creation, laying a solid foundation for what's to come. As we proceed, the primary scene structures are set, while crafting an environment that accentuates the iPhone's aesthetic and integrating a captivating wallpaper texture for its display. The module emphasizes ensuring harmony in the color palette, providing a cohesive visual experience.

Further enriching the learning curve, we delve deep into the nuances of compositing, starting with its foundational theories. Breaking down the rendering process, we explore the power of render passes, offering unparalleled control over each layer. The culmination of the module lies in the art of post-production. Here, students will masterfully blend and refine all scene elements, achieving a polished, professional, and harmonious final render.
