Ranch Water Lime — Personal CG Product Render (Spec Work)
This is a self-initiated, spec product visualization created purely to showcase my 3D rendering and compositing skills. It was not commissioned by, affiliated with, or produced for the Ranch Water brand.

The goal was to create a premium, ad-ready hero image with strong shelf appeal—clean studio lighting, believable materials, sharp label detail, and “refreshment cues” like condensation, citrus, and liquid motion. I focused on realism in the aluminum response, micro-droplet behavior, reflections, and depth/spacing to keep the composition punchy while still readable at thumbnail size.

What I handled

Full scene build + lighting for a commercial-style key visual

Photoreal materials (aluminum, label, droplets, liquid)

Product staging/composition and camera setup

Final polish for contrast, clarity, and print/digital readiness

Tools
Cinema 4D + V-Ray (with post/compositing for final finishing)
