3D Rendering and how to make it work for you

What exactly is 3D Rendering? This is a question we get asked a lot. 

What are the benefits of 3D renders (also called CGI’s) over traditional photography? Is the other question. 

In marketing terms, if you’re company needs photography to sell your product, you already know how important it is to get those shots spot on. You know how having the right setting, background, placement and environment to display your product can really help your client visualise buying it.

You are probably also very well aware of the investment – both time and money – involved in getting those images.

As a company that specialises in producing the highest quality 3D Renders we really do understand the beauty as well as the importance of amazing, high quality imagery to sell a product.

But what is 3D Rendering?

In simple terms, 3D Rendering is the process of creating beautiful images for marketing. The process involves 3D modelling, lighting, texturing, rendering and refining. When done well, it is a cost effective, highly flexible way to create images for say, a look book, brochure, website or social media campaigns. 

What’s great is that you don’t need an actual physical product to produce 3D renders. Here at Oil Studios, we can create the 3D models from drawings, sketches or plans. This means you don’t have to have a prototype ready to be photographed, or an example of every design in every colourway all ready to go.

How 3D Renders can work

Let us give you an example of a real client we worked with who hadn’t previously considered 3D Rendering as an option. As a high-end wallpaper brand, our client was not prepared to compromise on quality or authenticity in its imagery for its website. However, as each design was printed to order, they didn’t necessarily have every single design in every colour option ready to be hung. Nor did they have the time, budget or room set availability to hang each design and colourway.  

By working with us they were able to showcase their intricate designs on ‘real’ walls in a variety of realistic settings that reflected – and inspired – their clientele. Each design could be shown in each colourway. Without the expense of having each paper printed, hung and then thrown away.

Working closely with each client

We worked closely with the company’s designers to ensure each room set we created highlighted the wallpaper that was to be used. From the colour palette chosen in the room, through to providing 3D images in different lighting modes, we were able to create the most stunning photo realistic images. 

All without the expense, time and hassle of what would have been numerous set builds, not to mention hours of time, if they had opted for a traditional photo shoot. Much less, not needing to find a venue or design and build a whole set for each one.
