3D modelling & motion

3D that makes the product look like the product.

A render gives you control a photograph cannot: any angle, any finish, any lighting, before the thing physically exists. Used well it makes a small brand look established. Used badly it makes a real product look fake.

The failure mode with 3D is uncanny perfection — a product floating in grey void, lit evenly, with surfaces too clean to read as real. It photographs your product accurately and still makes people trust it less. We model and light for material honesty first: how the surface actually catches light, where it scuffs, how the edge highlights fall.

The practical case for 3D is usually speed and repeatability. Once the model exists, a new colourway is a material change rather than another shoot. A new campaign angle is a camera move. Packaging that has not been manufactured yet can be shown convincingly in a pitch deck. Seasonal variants stop requiring seasonal shoot budgets.

On the motion side, the same asset carries into animated logo treatments, product turntables, exploded views that explain how something works, and 3D elements composited into live footage so your social edits do not look like everyone else using the same template pack.

What you get

Product models

Built from your CAD files, technical drawings, or reference photography, accurate to the real dimensions and materials.

Still renders

Hero shots, detail crops, and angle sets at print and web resolution, with alpha channels where you need to composite.

Animated logo treatments

Stings and idents built from your existing mark rather than a generic reveal template.

Turntables and exploded views

Rotations and breakdowns that show construction, materials, and how components fit — useful for anything that needs explaining rather than just showing.

Packaging visualisation

Your artwork applied to accurate structural models, so the pack can be reviewed and marketed before a physical sample exists.

Source scenes and assets

Model files and scene setups handed over, so the work can be extended later by us or anyone else.

How it runs

01

Reference and specification

We collect CAD, drawings, physical samples, or photography, and agree the materials and finishes that need to read correctly.

02

Greybox and blocking

Geometry and camera angles approved before any time goes into surfacing, because that is the expensive part to redo.

03

Materials and lighting

Surfacing, lighting, and a test render at working resolution for sign-off on the look.

04

Final render and delivery

Full-resolution stills or animation, plus the source scenes.

Who it suits

  • Physical product brands that need consistent imagery without repeat photoshoots
  • Companies marketing a product before manufacturing finishes
  • Brands wanting an animated logo or ident that is not from a template pack
  • Businesses whose product needs explaining, not just showing

FAQ

Do you need CAD files to model our product?

They make it faster and more accurate, but no. We can model from technical drawings, dimensioned photographs, or a physical sample. Accuracy depends on what you can give us and we will tell you upfront what is achievable.

How long does a product render take?

A straightforward single product is typically a week to first renders. Complex assemblies, multiple colourways, or animation extend that, and we scope it before starting rather than discovering it halfway.

Can renders sit alongside our real photography?

Yes, and matching existing photography is a normal request. Send the shots you need to match and we light to them.

Do we own the 3D models?

Yes. Source models and scenes are handed over on request, so you are not locked into us for future variants.
