Default Pristine white background in studio environment

guys i have a studio environment setup, i have my model in it.

I have rendered it at full HD and then in photoshop i want to add text, but i was also hoping the background in photoshop would be pristine white when it is actually greyish and makes the image look dirty.

I have attached an example of how i want my final image to look. Pristine white background, with rendered model and shadows visible

take it into photoshop, do a curves adjustment layer and pull the white point down a bit using 'show clipping' until your background whites out.

i've noticed a lot of people on this forum struggling to reproduce things in their 3D software that can be achieved in post in about 4 seconds - rendering grass using hair or fur is my personal favourite day-to-day chuckle...

i haven't done any of the type of 'white backdrop' advertising work you are showing there dave, no.

also the level adjustment layer, is there any way of doing it so it only affects the white backdrop?? when i adjust the whitepoint setting, it also affects the colours of my shadows and also how green my model is?

yes its a green piggy bank

it worked to a degree, thanks for the help, here's the end result, full poster not finished yet, just used the example i first posted as inspiration to add text to the render, but as i say still got more to add to the poster.

it eventually going to be a green sheep 'piggy bank' surrounded by pink pig 'piggy banks', and funnily enough its an advert for a bank savings account

render out a channel for your object and use it as a mask for your adjustment layer.

might want to just paint some white in the top left corner there too.

You can also duplicate the layer and then change the new layers mode to soft light (I think...) and this will boost the colours in your green piggy bank.
