ENVIRONMENT DESIGN AND PACKAGE VISUALISATION My purpose on this project was to create an environment that related to the movie and render the models and package designs by doctorcollector.com. I created the blister pack models with Substance Designer and sculpted exported tessellated displacement for the inner part of the package to match the figures inside, then re-textured everything with Substance Painter. The translucent material of the blister packs has a little absorption and subsurface scattering on translucency. I also added a ‘camera angle driven falloff’ to the translucency to give the edges of the blister a more solid look. Using Perlin noise as a bump map on package paper and translucent plastics makes the geometry and shading look more realistic.
