Crafting Realism in 3D: My Journey with Oakley’s Ski Helmets and Goggles
3D product visualization is a challenging yet rewarding process.
Achieving realism requires meticulous attention to detail, especially when it comes to materials, textures, and lighting. These elements are essential for making a product look lifelike in a digital space.
In 2024, I had the privilege of working with Oakley to create 3D product visualization and animations for their premium sky helmets and goggles.
A standout feature of these products is their world-renowned multi-colored lenses. These lenses are designed with a base gradient that dynamically shifts in color depending on how light interacts with the surface. Replicating this feature in 3D is particularly challenging, but through a detailed process, I was able to capture its essence
Below, I’ll share the steps I took to bring these products to life digitally with Maxon Cinema 4D.
