We were lucky to recently be introduced to Andrew Purchase and the work he has done using Strata Enfold 3D and the Strata 3D CX Suite in conjunction with Adobe's design applications. In this Enfold 3D packaging design case study, Andrew fills us in on his work and the process of getting from concept, to 3D visualization, to finished product.

Talented artist and Strata contributor Xavier Mestres continues to share his work in the form of shape and texture libraries - this includes models for some of the more private areas of your projects. This is dirty work you don't want to do (or in my case, can't do as well as Xavier).

You can take advantage of Xavier's hard work for a very affordable price. And with the Live 3D Launch Special, you can save an extra 35%. Now is the time to deck out your porcelain palace - or any number of other areas of your models with this expert work.

Thorbjörn Haarup Laursen, a regular StrataCafe contributor, has been very busy over the past few weeks. Firstly, he's packaged up his lighting and display setup for use by all. This is very handy for quick presentation renders and new users that would like to see a professional setup (as most models are uploaded in an otherwise bare model file).

As that's rendering, you should check his newly redesigned website, featuring a ton of great Design 3D illustrations, graphic design and Photography.
