Deep in Blender lately.

Byredo bottles, built from scratch, spent most of this one chasing lighting and reflections until they felt real.

Two versions, two different lighting setups. Vote for your favorite 👇

reflections are spot on

Thanks! I've been working on my lighting 🙌

Both lighting setups read as genuinely different moods, not just brighter or darker versions of the same render, which is not easy to pull off in Blender. Which one took longer to nail, the moody dark version or the bright one?

Thanks! The moody version was a bit more tricky to pull off. The lighting, reflective floor, plus the caustics from the glass took some time to dial in. Could still use some fine tuning

The reflections on the glass are spot on! Hard to pick a favorite, but the contrast in the second lighting setup really pops

Appreciate the feedback! I'm leaning towards the 2nd one as well.

If you saw our previous post, this is the continuation...

A while back, we got tired of the same question on every project:

“Wait, where are we on this?”

The team was working, but everything was scattered. Feedback in one tool, files in another, approvals stuck in someone’s inbox. Every update meant piecing it all together.

So we started building Shelf — a shared space where feedback stays with the work, approvals are visible, and both agency and client can see exactly what’s happening.

We’re still polishing a few things, but we’re getting close...

Now the question: launch as soon as it’s ready, or take more time to get every detail right?

Oh, and it’ll be FREE... 👀

The animation is just a bonus, pick your favorite!

Curious what you’d choose 👇
