Luxury Marble Boutique Storefront Scene – User Guide

1. File Overview

The file contains one complete luxury retail storefront scene. It includes the exterior street setup, marble storefront, glass entrance, retail interior, display furniture, retail products, signage screens, cameras and lighting.

2. Collection Structure

The scene is organized into clear main collections. Use the Outliner to quickly hide, show or isolate parts of the scene.

3. Cameras

The scene includes prepared cameras for different render scenarios. Camera names describe their general purpose and lens length.

• Camera-010-24mm-OUT-CENTER – main centered storefront camera.
• Camera-011-35mm-OUT-SIDE – exterior side angle.
• Camera-012-35mm-OUT-SIDE2 – exterior side angle with depth of field.
• Camera-020-50mm-INT-DETAIL1 – interior detail camera.
• Camera-030-20mm-INT-CENTER – wide interior center camera.
• Camera-040-20mm-INT-SIDES – interior side perspective.
• Camera-050-20mm-INT-DETAIL – wide detail composition.
• Camera-060-35mm-INT-CENTE2 – interior centered camera with tighter framing.

4. Editing and Customization

The scene is made to be customized. You can adjust branding, screens, retail products, materials, furniture placement and exterior visibility depending on your project.

Common Customization Tasks

• Change the storefront logo: replace the image texture used by the storefront logo material.
• Replace window decals: edit or replace the window decal image texture.
• Customize signage screens: replace the main or small signage screen textures.
• Remove products: hide the 6-RETAIL-PRODUCTS collection or individual product objects.
• Create a clean store version: disable products, tabletop props and decorative objects.
• Change the facade look: adjust marble, glass, metal or imperfection materials in the Shader Editor.
• Rearrange the store: move retail tables, counter objects, bags and display props as needed.

5. Replacing Logos, Screens and Decals

Store 01 includes several replaceable visual elements. These are usually connected through Image Texture nodes in the material setup.

Replacement Workflow

1. Select the object using the logo, screen, decal or product graphic.
2. Open the Shader Editor.
3. Find the connected Image Texture node.
4. Replace the image with your own artwork.
5. Keep the same aspect ratio where possible to avoid stretching.
6. If needed, adjust UVs or Mapping node settings.

6. Material System

The scene uses a mix of PBR texture-based materials and procedural shader setups. Materials are generally named by type, such as marble, glass, metal, leather, fabric, concrete, stone, signage or emission.

Main Material Groups

• Marble / Stone: used for facade panels, checkout counter, floor and stone surfaces.
• Glass: used for storefront windows, sliding doors, retail glass and transparent elements.
• Worn Metal: used for frames, pollers, street details and structural elements.
• Leather / Fabric: used for bags, handles, product details and display props.
• Emission: used for lights, signage, illuminated panels and screen surfaces.
• Weathered Wall / Concrete: used for building facade, street and architectural background elements.

Material Naming Notes

• MB_PBR materials usually rely on texture maps such as base color, roughness, normal, height or metallic.
• MB_PROC materials use procedural shader logic, node groups or generated variation.
• MB_GLASS / MB_CLEAR / WINDOW-GLASS materials are used for transparent glass surfaces.
• Visual / Signage / Screen materials are usually image-based and can be replaced for custom branding.

7. Glass and Window Materials

Store 01 uses glass materials for the storefront, sliding door, signage casing and display elements. Some glass materials use roughness and imperfection textures to avoid a perfectly clean CG look.

• Use higher Cycles samples for cleaner transparent glass renders.
• Use denoising for final renders.
• For faster previews, temporarily hide glass-heavy objects or simplify glass materials.
• If glass looks too dark, check scene lighting, Filmic exposure, material roughness and transparency settings.

8. Shader-Based Variation

Some Store 01 materials use shader nodes and Object Info logic to create variation, imperfections, random damage or weathering. This is especially useful for repeated products, leather, metal and surface details.

• Duplicated objects may show material variation depending on the shader setup.
• Random damage and weathering masks can create more natural-looking surfaces.
• Object-based randomness is useful for repeated retail products and display elements.
• For predictable results, duplicate the material and adjust the values manually.

9. Collection Instances

Some repeated elements are placed as Collection Instances. This keeps the scene easier to manage and helps avoid unnecessary duplication for repeated spotlights and signage elements.

• MB_RETAIL-SpotlightO1 is used as a repeated spotlight collection instance.
• WINDOW-SIGNAGE instances use the WINDOW-SIGNAGE-ELEMENTS collection.
• Editing the original source collection updates all instances.
• Use Make Instances Real if you need to edit one instance independently.

10. Lighting Workflow

The lighting setup includes a main retail spotlight, product lights and a skylight. This gives the scene a controlled boutique look while keeping the storefront readable from outside.

• MB-Retail-Spot01: main spotlight object.
• Retail-ProductLight: product-focused area light.
• Retail-ProductLight.001: additional product area light.
• Skylight: broader area light for general illumination.

11. Performance Tips

Store 01 is a detailed render-ready environment. Some decorative objects, foliage, roof geometry, roses and street elements can be heavy depending on the camera view.

• Use Solid View while editing the layout.
• Disable 2-MB_AcrossStreet if it is not visible in your render.
• Hide foliage and rose bouquet elements when they are not needed.
• Disable street/background objects for close interior shots.
• Use lower viewport samples for previews and higher samples for final renders.
• Keep collection instances as instances unless you need unique edits.
• Render through the prepared cameras to avoid unnecessary geometry in frame.
• Temporarily simplify glass materials if viewport performance is slow.
