I just found a free action script that creates some really great software boxes, and it only requires to have Adobe Photoshop installed.

Mal Duffin:
Can you explain how to do it?

Nice practical beginners tutorial.

My only suggestion ( other than the ones mentioned above ) would be to add in a faded-off reflection of the box to the floor, to give it that really cool and professional looking OS/X Aqua / Windows Vista style.

Hey friends, I have to weigh in here. I am what I would call a beginning/intermediate Blender user. Thank you for posting this tute. When I first learned UV-mapping I thought it was really cool, and still do. A happy, non-frustrated noob who has been shown how to do something simple, but get nice results is just the kind of user the community needs. As with ANY software, we quickly forget just how frustrating it can be your first few months. Patience with beginners is paramount to a growing user base. Soapbox put away now.

For newbies this tutorial is really good, as UV-mapping can be tricky at first.

(Cire = "Eric" of the first post . . . decided to use BlenderArtists user name)

Bart, this is a good tutorial for beginners. Some of us just couldn't resist :)

I think we can now expect the quality of most future newbie renders to improve because of this tutorial. The end of the "Reflective Sphere" era is upon us . . . the "Beautifully UV-mapped (and Reflective) Cube" has arrived!
