3D Rendering for Upholstered Furniture
Show every fabric, configuration and module of a seating program without upholstering a sample for the camera. One 3D model covers all of it.
Trusted by leading product brands
One model, every option
Show every fabric and upholstery option
Approved 3D models take any cover without a reshoot. The same chair, the same camera: only the upholstery changes.
Fabric and leather covers
What we render
Every seat in your program, in context
From a single hero sofa to a full modular system in every cover you offer.
Sofas & sectionals
Full-size seating staged in real rooms: proportion, seat depth and how the piece sits against a wall or floats in a space, at the camera height a catalog spread actually uses.
Armchairs & accent chairs
Single pieces shot the way a catalog needs them: clean silhouettes plus styled scenes that give the chair a room to live in, so one model covers the product page and the lookbook.
Modules & configurations
The same system rebuilt as corner, chaise or island layouts, so a shopper sees the configuration they are about to order, without the model being rebuilt for every layout.
Fabrics, stitching & legs
Macro views where the decision happens: weave, tufting, piping, seams and the leg finish under raking light, at the distance a buyer would hold a swatch.
Featured case
A seating program rendered across every cover
Palliser
Palliser needed catalog and ecommerce imagery for upholstered collections that ship in dozens of fabric and leather options. Photographing each cover was never realistic, so we modeled the frames and cushions once, built the covers as materials, and rendered the range from the same scenes rather than imagining the difference.
Upholstery work in practice
Upholstery CGI in Practice
The brief, the deliverable and where the imagery went.
Living Style: Upholstery in Real Rooms
Sofas and armchairs modeled from the maker's specifications and staged in interiors, with fabric close-ups that carry the texture at catalog scale.
Octane Seating: Marketing Imagery at Scale
Recliner and theatre seating rendered for campaigns and product pages, including configurations and finishes that were never physically built for a shoot.
EQ3: Ecommerce-Ready Furniture Imagery
A consistent visual set for an online catalog: clean product shots for the grid and lifestyle scenes for the pages that need context.

Everything an upholstery launch needs
All formats come from the same approved 3D assets: built once, reused everywhere.
Silo product renders
Clean shots on white for product pages, catalogs and marketplace feeds, cropped and named to the spec each channel asks for, from one approved model.
Lifestyle furniture scenes
Styled rooms that set the brand tone and answer scale: how the piece reads against a wall, a rug and the furniture a buyer already owns.
Close-ups and feature renders
Macro views of weave, tufting, piping and the leg finish, lit so the texture a buyer would check in a showroom is readable on a screen.
Woven pattern
Textured weaveFabric and finish variations
Every cover rendered from the same approved frame with the camera unchanged, so the difference a shopper sees is the fabric and nothing else.
360 product views and animation
Spin sets and motion built on the same geometry as the stills. Drag the sofa here: this is the live model running in the page, not a video of one.
AR and configurator-ready assets
Optimized geometry that places the piece in a shopper’s room or drives a configurator, exported to the spec each platform and retailer library requires.
How it works
From frame drawings to finished imagery
You send what the factory already has. We handle modeling, materials, scenes and delivery.
Brief & input files
Share frame drawings or CAD, exact dimensions, the cover list with fabric samples or scans, and references for the look you want. A project manager sets the job up on our CGI CRM.
Geometry & clay approval
We model the frame, cushions and seams with real construction logic and send grey clay renders. Proportion, seat depth and cushion behavior are approved here, before any fabric work.
Fabrics, leather & light
Weave, pile, sheen and leather grain are built from your samples, then the scene is lit so the material reads the way it does under showroom light.
Covers & configurations
Every cover and layout is applied inside the approved scene with the camera unchanged, so the range compares cleanly across the catalog.
QA & delivery
Each image is checked against your specs and delivered in the crops your PDPs, dealer materials and campaigns need. Approved models stay in your asset library for next season.
CGI CRM
All upholstery rendering work happens in our CGI CRM
Your projects, feedback and finished assets live in our portal, not in an email thread.
Briefs, feedback and approvals
Set tasks, comment directly on renders and approve versions. Every decision stays attached to the image it belongs to.
Reusable asset library
Approved models, materials and scenes are stored and reused, so the next collection starts from what is already built.
Project history and delivery
Versions, results and final files in one place, available to your whole team whenever a catalog or campaign needs them.
Sales channels
From one 3D asset to every sales channel
Where the approved upholstery assets land once they leave the studio. The same set also feeds dealer portals, showroom screens and print catalogs.
Ecommerce Product Pages
A sofa listing needs the hero, the room shot and a swatch row that matches what ships. All of it renders from one approved frame, so the page stays consistent as covers are added.
Product Options and Variants
Size, cover and configuration selectors each need their own image. Re-rendering the same model beats reshooting a showroom every time the range changes.
Retailer and Marketplace Listings
Every retailer wants its own crop, background and file naming. The geometry is re-exported to each spec, so a listing passes review the first time.
Brand and Community Posts
A feed post has to carry the product at thumb size. The scene is built so the silhouette and the cover still read when someone is scrolling past it.
Lifestyle Posts in Context
Room posts sell the piece by showing what it sits next to. The same approved model drops into a new scene instead of a new photo shoot.
Stories and Campaign Sequences
Vertical crops and short sequences come from the assets already approved for the catalog, so a collection looks the same in a story as on the product page.

FAQ
Answers to common questions about upholstery rendering
What do you need from us to start?
Frame drawings or CAD, exact dimensions, your cover list with fabric samples or high-resolution scans, and reference photos of an existing piece if you have one. Physical samples help most with pile and sheen: the way velvet or bouclé catches light is what we match first.
Can you render every fabric we offer?
Yes, and from the same scene. Once the frame is modeled and the shot approved, each cover is applied as a material with the camera and lighting unchanged. That is what makes an options page usable: the customer compares covers, not photographs taken months apart.
Will the cushions look real, not computer-perfect?
Cushion slump, seam pull and fabric drape are modeled deliberately, because that is what separates a believable sofa from an obvious render. We tune it against your reference photos during clay and material approval.
Can you show modular configurations?
Yes. A modular system is built as parts, so corner, chaise and island layouts are assembled from the same approved modules. New configurations usually require less work because the approved geometry already exists.
Do the same assets work for AR and configurators?
The models are built so they can be optimized for AR previews and online configurators without re-modeling. The geometry and materials approved for your imagery are the same ones that drive the interactive experience.
How long does a first project take?
It depends on how many frames and covers are in scope and how complete the input files are. After the brief you get a schedule with clay approval, materials and delivery milestones, so imagery lands when your catalog or launch needs it.
What image and 3D file formats do you deliver?
We provide web-ready and print-ready images in the required resolutions, along with animation, 360-view and interactive assets when included in the project scope. Source 3D files and specific delivery formats can be agreed on before production begins.
How much does upholstery rendering cost?
Cost depends on the number of frames, the number of covers and the formats you need. Our price list includes average costs and example results, so you can plan your budget before talking to us. You can also book a demo to get an estimate for your specific product range.
