How to make 3D Box-shots and eBook Covers
eBook Cover Rendering
In the progress of writing my eBook “Twitter As Your Day Job” I was wondering how all of those 3D renderings of eBooks and software Box Shots were made.
I know that you can make them yourself in Photoshop, but there must be an easier way!
I stumbled upon a product called Cover Action Pro which automated the process of making eBook covers and Box-Shots in Photoshop – Splendid!
To the right you can see what I managed to create in a matter of 30 minutes. It’s simply amazing how professional the result is! This example is made using just one of the many templates included with Cover Action Pro.
Business Card Rendering
When familiarizing myself with the application I made a couple of other samples seen below. The first one is a 3D rendering of my business cars.
The second one is virtual gift-cards for my upcomming eBook – Just an idea inspired by one of the templates. There are ALOT of templates, and they are all very professional looking.
The last sample is an included sample from Cover Action Pro – thinking about using this if I’m going to sell my eBook on eBay, where digital delivery unfortunately not is allowed 
Virtual Gift Cards
The progress of making the above mentioned product shots is actually quite easy, as long as you have worked with Photoshop before, and know how to execute a Photoshop Action Script 
If you are ever to make a virtual book-cover or a software cover shot, I hope that you will take Cover Action Pro for a spin!
