Up Trainer
Soccer Ball Launcher
French design studio Antracite asked me to produce a set of renders for a unique device of its kind, a soccer ball launcher. Designed for soccer players, Up-Trainer supports daily training sessions by offering different ball throwing modes to improve attack, defense and stopping techniques.
A simple and monochrome studio setup was the choice from the start. The emphasis was placed on the photographic rendering of the product and faithful rendering of the materials. A bit of work was done on the modeling department too : complete modeling of the mesh net to make this part believable, some detail modeling on the tires, and welds on the tubular frame.
