3D PRODUCT MODELING

3D product modeling revolutionized digital advertising. Photorealistic 3D made creative out-of-the-box solutions and massive impact possible for any ambitious company, thus ending the era of big-budgets supremacy… But let’s start at the beginning.

Digital advertising is an opportunity to surprise the customer and engage him into communication, entertain, cultivate trust, tell about the benefits of a product and sell the item online. There are no limits to possibilities of digital advertising. To make it work, a product company needs 3 key components: strategy, creative materials and a budget.

The latter proves to be a real killjoy. When a marketing team presents a great strategy that takes everyone’s breath away, budget cuts occur. Everything is simplified, reduced or taken out, so that a brilliant strategy loses its luster and turns in pretty much the same thing everyone else in the category is doing.

So when it comes to product images, Marketers have to settle for the minimum necessary. For photoshoots require creation of product prototypes in all colors, and in the whole variety of finishes, as well as purchasing decor and transportation. As for on-location shooting, it may require anything at all. Even an industrial crane for placing furniture items on a forest glade. As for really cool, innovative solutions, like exploded design shots or product usage videos, they are out of reach.

Fortunately, Product Marketers don’t have to compromise on product imagery any more. With the advent of 3D product modeling services, businesses can implement their most daring ideas without thinking about budget constraints. For product design 3D modeling and rendering do not require photoshoots, buying and storing decor or models participation. 3D Artists create everything digitally, and in photoreal quality. Everything is possible: static images and video, lifestyle and plain background shots, panoramas and 360° views. Sky’s the limit! Let’s see how 3D product modeling makes for a stellar digital advertising strategy.

For instance, collecting clients’ contacts allow for precise remarketing campaigns promoting new products and latest sales. And since it’s the image that makes people click, 3D product modeling will provide with professional marketing imagery that drives conversions. For instance, 3D lifestyle showcasing the new table design in an elegant interior will make viewers long to buy the item, along with the chair and decor.
