Model a ketchup sauce bottle with labels and a lid in Eevee, including shaders and lighting, and start by adding a circle mesh.
Create the nozzle of a ketchup bottle in Blender by extruding a circle, adding subsurf and bevels, and refining with loop cuts and vertex tweaks for a smooth curved lid.
Model the ketchup bottle lid and cap in blender by extruding rings, adjusting the nozzle, and adding a locking seal to enable a twist open cap.
Model a ketchup bottle in Blender by extruding the nozzle, applying loop cuts and bevels, separating the bottle as a new object, and shaping a maroon red body.
Rig the ketchup bottle lid by adding shape keys for open and closed, then drive the lid's motion with an armature bone's y rotation, using vertex groups and drivers.
Create and attach a Blender bottle label using a grid mesh, shrinkwrap, and a gradient-based shader with color ramps to separate red, green, and blue regions.
Add the brand name to the label with a styled text object and a white grease pencil wisp, then create a drop shadow via image textures and node mapping.
Build bottle and lid materials in blender with a principled shader. Set hue, saturation, and value to maroon red, adjust roughness, specular, and add foil to the label.
Create a ketchup label on a blender bottle by centering text in sci-fi and Helvetica fonts, tracing a tomato, applying black material, and shrink wrapping with remesh.
Create a ketchup bottle in Blender by building curves, applying the Green Drops label material, adjusting color ramp for droplets, using shrink wrap with projection, and rendering in Eevee.
Hello all. I created a Blender tutorial for a sauce bottle. With labels, an opening and closing lid rig, and with shaders and lighting made in Blender's real-time renderer Eevee.
One upside I always find working with tactile objects in your own home, that you can feel and see lighting effects from many angles, is a fantastic exercise to align your virtual creations with more believability and realism.
If there's some appliance or random object in your own home you think is unique or interesting, why not give a go recreating it!
This sauce bottle is one I have in my pantry, and I always thought it was interesting. And I was curious to see if I could recreate the label with shaders and mesh without trying to rip the label off and scan. Or map the texture from a photo. Especially being such a reflective surface.
Here is the order of my workflow in creating this one:
Create the Nozzle - Using some mesh trickery, we can mimic the interesting nozzle design in this bottle's lid
Create the Lid and Cap
Create the Bottle
Rig the Lid Twist Open Mechanism (With Bones and Shape Keys combined with Drivers)
Add the Brand Name to the Label
Bottle and Lid Materials
Extra Label Text
Final Bottle Brand Details
The Blender file is included to review. My hope is that it may inspire some ideas you can apply to your own projects, using this household asset as a solid benchmark to work within realistic boundaries.
