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.”

Online fashion retailer, United Kingdom
Example wording — not a real client quote
“They took the post-production off our plate entirely. We shoot, they deliver to our naming convention, and I stopped having a retouching backlog.”
Studio Manager

“The free trial is what convinced us. Two images, our brief, back the next morning — we could see exactly what we would be buying.”

Frequently asked questions
Can you work from our CAD files?
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?
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?
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?
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?
We also record the render settings and version, so an image produced months later matches the ones already published.
