Lilley's Cider Bottle

Project Overview
In collaboration with SOS Design, I was commissioned to develop a refined 3D representation
of a new bottle design, translating detailed drawings into a visually compelling digital asset,
complete with applied brand label artwork.
‍
Craft & Approach
While the modelling phase established the foundation, the focus quickly shifted toward elevating
the visual language of the piece. Particular care was taken in crafting a sophisticated glass
shader—capturing the subtle interplay of light, clarity, and depth that defines premium
packaging.
‍
Alongside this, a considered and flexible labelling system was developed, ensuring that the
integrity of the brand identity could be maintained and easily adapted across future iterations.
‍
Client Experience
A key objective was to deliver not just a final render, but a usable, future-proof asset. With the
client new to 3D workflows, the scene was thoughtfully structured for clarity and ease of
use—allowing the team at SOS Design to seamlessly update labels and evolve the design
in-house.
‍
Outcome
The result is a clean, elegant, and highly adaptable asset that balances visual fidelity with
practical usability—supporting both immediate presentation needs and long-term brand
development.
