Boocha is a mockup brand I designed for a beverage made with fermented tea, known as kombucha. To get started, I made three very simple labels to provide material for working on the 3D models immediately afterward, and then I modeled the meshes in Blender.
The label
The different versions of the label have different names too. The first one on the left, Umbo, is an abstract visual that resembles a liquid and the tastes are highlighted with the color white. The other version takes its name from the scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), a mass that aids the fermentation process, and, for the visuals I drew the shape of each fruit adding a different pattern to each one.

3D modeling
Good topography is essential when unwrapping a model, this avoids slowing down the CPU and stretching textures on the final result. It gives you also the freedom to add different modifiers and add displacement when needed. In this case I applied the displacement to the bottom of the bottle and also to make the twisted thread of the cup, by simply using blender material nodes.

In conclusion, I have constructed multiple scenes, meticulously adjusting the lighting to improve the coloring of the bottle's edges based on my models' positions. The creation of the can was equally enjoyable, requiring the creation of water droplets to achieve a heightened sense of realism. This effect was achieved through the use of geometric nodes and a mastery of texturing techniques.
