JJK
studio

I’m JJ, a 3D artist and designer. I create distinctive visuals with attention to detail, material, product and brand.

[ 01 – Vision ]

First, the
idea.

Before the first render, we get clear on what the packaging should say. Only then come geometry, material and light.

01Model

Geometry from the drawing

Bottles, tubes, boxes and pouches in exact dimensions. I build the model from a technical drawing or a photo reference – and when there’s nothing to go on, I measure and model the product myself.

02Material

PBR textures

Paper, glass and foil behave in the render just as they do in real life. I build materials from your reference and requirements, or create them from scratch – nut butter or jam textures, for example.

03Light

Studio scene

Lighting is always designed around the product, sometimes with my own custom HDRIs. A dark scene for premium spirits, bright isometrics for supplements.

[ 02 – Form ]

The idea takes form.

One idea can grow into a whole range of shapes, compositions and materials – from your imagination or from a template you send me, always keeping the DNA of the product and the brand.

[ 03 – Light ]

And then, just
light.

Finally, I build the scene, light it and render the final image. The light shows the material, the shape and the print details exactly as they’ll look on the shelf.

Idea, form, light.
Together they make an original.

[ Approach and pricing ]

Every project,
made to measure.

I treat every job individually. I look for a solution that makes sense for your situation and budget – not a template your project has to squeeze into.

Small projectsEdits, single renders and smaller design jobs are billed by the hour.
Larger projectsProduct ranges, identities and animations get one fixed budget agreed in advance.
AI as a partnerWhere it helps, I bring in AI – it saves time and money, and I always finish the result by hand.

Experience
you can see.

Behind every render is a model, materials and light I built from scratch. Over the years, quite a lot of them have piled up.

[ FAQ ]

What you
often ask.

What do I need from you?

A technical drawing or the packaging dimensions, print-ready label artwork and a reference for the look you’re after. If something’s missing, I’ll measure it or work it out with you.

Why hire me when AI can make images?

AI can produce an impressive image fast – but not your packaging. A product render has to be right down to the detail: the exact shape, your label, faithful materials and print, and the same look across the whole product range. Behind my renders are over 7 years of 3D and graphic design work and the trust of brands like Vilgain and – together with Design Herynek – Metelka and Albert Michler Distillery. I don’t dismiss AI – I use it every day and know where it makes sense and saves time and budget. But always so that the result stays true to your product and consistent with what we’ve agreed.

What formats do you deliver?

PNG with a transparent background for online shops, social media and print. Plus a layered PSD where you can fine-tune the colour of individual parts – embossing, labels or liquids – and switch the shadow and background on or off. Animations come as MP4 or another format as needed.

Is the consultation free?

Yes. In the first consultation we go through the brief, your materials and the options – no strings attached. Then I send you a tailored quote.

Can you prepare a 3D model for a website or online shop?

Yes. On request I create a version of the 3D model optimised for the web – typically GLB or OBJ + MTL – so customers can rotate the product on your site and see it from every side.

Do I get the source files too?

I’m afraid not. I build scenes, materials and lighting with my own methods, which are my know-how – so they aren’t part of the delivery. You get finished renders ready to use.

How long does it take?

A single render usually within a week; a product range or an animation depends on the scope. I always confirm the exact date in the quote.

How many revisions are included?

Two rounds. I’m happy to make further changes – we just agree on them in advance.

Can I use the renders anywhere?

Yes. Once paid for, you can use them to promote the product without restriction – online, in print, on social media and in advertising.
