Step 1

3D Modeling Service

Digital Twin: Precise 3D modeling from scratch or CAD. The essential foundation for high-end product visuals.

  • Level 1 (Basic): Simple geometry like wall panels, profiles, or basic primitives.

  • Level 2 (Optimization): Refinement of factory CAD files, including topology cleanup and material mapping.

  • Level 3 (Standard): Typical consumer products (e.g., vanities, tubs, range hoods).

  • Level 4 (Complex): Intricate items with high detail (e.g., saunas, upholstered sofas, detailed electronics).

  • Dependency: This selection sets the base complexity for all subsequent rendering steps.

Step 2

Hero Shot (Studio Setup)

Studio Lighting & Contrast. Clean, distraction-free shots on white or transparent backgrounds.

  • The “Scene” Factor: Choosing a “Scene” involves the technical setup of studio lighting designed to accentuate your product’s contours and contrast. For large batches of similar products within one category, a single scene setup is often sufficient.

  • Standard: Basic shapes with non-reflective materials.

  • Hard/Complex: Required for high-reflectivity finishes (Chrome, Brushed Metal) or complex shapes (Faucets) that need advanced light-path management.

  • Dependency: This step is required to provide the accurate product geometry used in Step 4.

Lifestyle 3D Rendering

Unified 3D Environment. Place your product in a fully realized, photorealistic 3D space.

  • Maximum Control: This method provides total control over camera angles, materials, and lighting within a single, unified 3D environment.

  • Standard (Minimalist): Clean interior backgrounds with a few decorative elements.

  • Hard (Premium): Large or complex architectural spaces with high-detail propping.

  • Strategic Note: As a rule, this high-control stage is a complete alternative to Step 4 (AI Visualization).

AI-Visualization

Ultra-Realistic Context. This stage delivers the highest level of environmental realism and detail by generating AI-powered scenes.

  • Precision Integration: We take the accurate product shots from Step 2 and integrate them into an AI-generated environment at the perfect angle, ensuring 100% product accuracy within a hyper-realistic setting.

  • 2MP (1408px): Fast generation for web and social media.

  • 4K (4000px): Ultra-high resolution requiring multi-stage AI upscaling.

  • Strategic Note: As a rule, this high-realism stage is a complete alternative to Step 3 (Lifestyle 3D Rendering).

How 3D Rendering Pricing Works

Every project is built from three parts: the 3D model (made once per product), the scene (set up once) and the images rendered from it. The model and the scene are the main investment; every additional image is cheap — so the more images you render from one scene, the lower your cost per image.

Component Price
3D model per SKU $48–240 (Profiled $48 · CAD cleanup $78 · Standard $120 · Composite $240)
Hero / silo studio scene $159 per scene ($309 for complex materials) + $16 per image
3D lifestyle scene $159–192 per scene + $26 per image
AI-powered lifestyle scene $96 per scene + $32 per image (2K) / $38 (4K)

A Worked Example

1 Standard model + 1 lifestyle scene + 10 images = $539 (≈$54 per image). The same scene with 30 images = $1,059 (≈$35 per image).
