3D Visualization & Rendering

What clients say

“We send around 400 garments a week and the thing that matters most is that image 400 looks like image 1. That consistency is what we were not getting before.”

“They took the post-production off our plate entirely. We shoot, they deliver to our naming convention, and I stopped having a retouching backlog.”

Frequently asked questions

Can you work from our CAD files?
Yes, and it is the fastest and most accurate route. Good CAD or dimensioned drawings remove the guesswork about scale, which is the thing that quietly ruins renders.

Without them we can work from clear reference photographs from several angles, but expect an extra approval round on proportions.
Why is real-time 3D priced differently from a still?
Because it is a different object. A model for a render farm can carry all the geometry it likes; one for a browser has a polygon budget, a texture budget and a download budget, and hitting them is optimization work in its own right.

We agree those budgets before anyone starts modeling, because retrofitting them means starting again.
What is look development and why is there an approval gate?
It is one frame rendered at final quality, with the materials and lighting finished, approved before anything goes to the farm.

Render time is a real cost. Approving the look on one frame rather than discovering a problem across three hundred is what keeps the budget where the quote put it.
Can renders sit next to our photography?
Yes, and it takes deliberate matching rather than grading to taste — camera, lens, lighting, grain and color pipeline aligned to the photographic plates.

Done properly nobody can tell which is which in a category grid. Done casually the CG reads as plastic, which is the usual failure.
Do we get the source files?
Yes. Models, textures and scene files are delivered alongside the renders, so a variant later is a change rather than a rebuild.

We also record the render settings and version, so an image produced months later matches the ones already published.
