Simple Tuck Box Packging

Simple Tuck Box Packging

In this video, Ryan Ernst takes you through creating a simple tux box in Modo.  The final mesh is a great starting point for a lot of packaging projects.  It's modeled with realistic folds and unwraps like a dieline for print.  It also a great technique to get your mind thinking in a new way for modeling packaging.

 

Texture Examples - 

RGBA Map - Using a simple PSD with an alpha you can quickly mock up complex cutouts or windows.

Normal Map - Collapse your RGBA PSD into a smart object by selecting all the layers, right clicking, and selecting Covert to Smart Object, then apply the 3D Filter - Normal Map.  This lets you visualize embossing.
