3D Texturing and Concept Render

The tea set itself did not require the use of image textures, so I applied colour directly through the shading workspace in Blender, using materials to give each item a stylised, hand-crafted look. This allowed me to keep a clean, organic aesthetic that suited the natural, fairytale-inspired design of the set.
However, for the packaging designs – including the box packaging and the travel mug – I used image textures to incorporate branding elements such as logos, labels, and illustrated details.

To ensure these textures were applied accurately, I UV unwrapped the 3D models in Blender. This process allowed me to lay out the 3D surfaces as 2D maps, giving me full control over how the textures appeared on each object, for the packaging, this was especially important as the logo and text needed to be readable. I adjusted the UVs carefully to make sure that text remained legible, logos were correctly aligned, and design elements were properly positioned on flat surfaces like the sides and lids of the boxes.

By combining shading and detailed image textures for the packaging, I was able to create a cohesive visual identity that incorporated fantasy aesthetics with functional product presentation. The contrast between the natural, earthy look of the tea set and the polished, branded packaging makes the overall design refined and professional, making the collection feel ready for both in-shop use and retail display.
