New Ambience Library - Featuring Direct Sunlight
New in the Ambience Library: Sun Category and Over 60 New Environments
Hello, jewelry lovers!
As you already know, lighting a piece of jewelry is a process that requires advanced technical and artistic expertise.

After spending countless hours designing and modeling your piece in 3D programs like Rhino, Matrix, or MatrixGold, you naturally want to create renders that are not only realistic but also highlight the true beauty of your design.
However, the default rendering engines in these programs are often quite basic. It is difficult to achieve results that truly impress final clients or stand out in an online jewelry store.
The Challenge of Realistic Lighting
Lighting diamonds to create attractive sparkles, and achieving the right contrast in metals to make precious materials look lifelike, is a common headache for many 3D jewelry designers.
Acquiring the necessary knowledge in photographic lighting and artistic vision to produce high-quality renders is a profession in itself. It often involves learning specialized rendering software such as Maverick Render, KeyShot, or Octane Render, a path that can be too long and tedious for many designers to take.
Enter Maverick Excelsior
This is where Maverick Excelsior adds extraordinary value.
Once you import your 3D model into Excelsior and apply materials with just a few clicks, you get to the fun part: choosing the perfect lighting Ambience to make your jewelry look spectacular.
In our latest release, we have added over 60 new Ambiences based on real jewelry photography setups, tested across thousands of 3D models.

Say Goodbye to "Fake" Renders
Avoid synthetic and artificial setups that give your jewelry a "fake render" look, which can ultimately make customers doubt the quality of your design or the ring you are selling.
New Sun-Powered Lighting
We have also introduced a new category called Sun. Here, you will find Ambiences with direct light simulating sunlight, creating hard shadows on the ground and adding a contrast that makes your piece pop even more.

Total Control with Ease
Every jewelry model is unique due to its shapes and design. Some pieces benefit from a flatter Ambience with less contrast, while others need darker areas to make their volume more striking.

With Maverick Excelsior, it's as simple as clicking through each Ambience to see it applied to your scene until you find the one that convinces you.
Pro Tip: Don't forget that you can also rotate the entire Ambience from the Globals panel to fine-tune reflections and highlights.

Conclusion
With this new Maverick Excelsior update, we are confident you will always find the perfect environment where your jewelry looks exactly as it deserves. Our goal is to help you sell more in today's increasingly competitive jewelry market.
Best regards.
