Hi,
I use this regulary since i do, among others, commercials for cell ringtones.
I generally use Invigorator, I’m given HiRes photos of the phone (FRONT/BACK/SIDES) to texture it. SOmetimes i’m use an Imported 3DS file, sometimes i must draw the shapes myself in Illustrator.
I do the same for all simple saped objects (Ipod, CD’s, DVD’s, Books…etc)
Filming an actual object is time consuming and very expensive.
