The client approached me with a some simple sketches of his idea for a Pelican case that incorporates a built in battery charging facility for various 'DJI' branded Drones, asking me to turn them into convincing, high quality renders. As with all my clients, I worked closely with them to ensure the deliverables were accurate to his specification, and of the quality they expected.

The client requested that the model be based around a Pelican iM2450 case, with various additions to be built into the model as per the brief. A lot of work was put into ensuring the case itself looked convincing before the clients requested changes and additions were made. When the time came for those features to be added, each component was built to be specifications of the brief, and then sent to the client to ensure they were satisfied.

The models were created in Solidworks before being exported to Keyshot for rendering. These renders were then manipulated in Photoshop. Photoshop was also used to create the composite of the Drone, Case and Battery. Everything with the exception of the battery was modelled from scratch, as no existing models of the case were available.

As I mentioned prior, I worked very closely with the client throughout the process, ensuring a high quality, accurate outcome. The job took 5 days to complete.

The client was very pleased with the results, providing this testimonial -

"Dan took my basic paper sketches and turned them into great 3D model. Will definitely use again!"

The renders from this project are currently being used as focus for the products website.
