Unwrap builds photoreal gift boxes in Blender with one click: the box, the wrapping paper, the ribbon and the bow, and a gift tag with your own words. Pick one of 16 designs from a picture gallery, change anything in the sidebar and the gift rebuilds live.

Then make it a party. Turn on an unboxing celebration and the gift shakes, bursts open and throws confetti, streamers, balloons and sparks into the air while your message rises out of the box. The animation plays straight from the timeline, with nothing to bake.

Every gift opens with a party
Shake, pop, burst: confetti, streamers, balloons and your own message, animated live on the timeline.

16 gifts, one click each
Classic red and gold, tartan, kraft and twine, luxury black, hat boxes, hearts, gold foil and more.

Surprise Me
One click in the sidebar for a brand-new gift: new shape, paper, ribbon and bow, ready for a whole pile of presents.
