3D PRODUCT VISUALIZATION FROM ULM
Shown before it's built. Your CAD data becomes photorealistic CGI product images, 3D animations and product configurators. For your website, catalogue, trade fairs and sales, even if there's no prototype yet.
TRY IT YOURSELF
This is how a product configurator works on your website. Rotate the valve, choose a colour for the handwheel and click through the details. It works the same way for any of your products: your customers put together their product themselves, see every variant instantly and send you a ready-made enquiry.
What we deliver
Want a product visualization? Once your product is built as a 3D model, every further image is created without a new photo shoot: another colour, another angle, another setting.
3D ANIMATION
For the launch of Carl Walther's LG500 itec, we created a commercial rendered entirely from the 3D model. No shoot, no camera, every shot comes from the computer. Here's an excerpt: click on a close-up to jump straight to that scene.
FROM MODEL TO IMAGE
Drag the slider across the image: on the left the 3D model without textures, on the right the finished rendering. Material, light and setting make the difference.

WHO'S BEHIND IT
Real projects. Clear results.
Product visualizations show their value above all in practical use. Here's a selection of projects where CGI was used specifically for product communication:

FAQ product visualization / CGI
Transparency matters to us. Here we answer the most common questions about rendering projects.
Simple product renderings take less time and effort than more complex visualizations such as animations or interactive 3D configurators. The calculation always has two parts: the 3D model, including preparing the CAD data, materials and scene setup, and what is created from it, billed per rendering view, animation or video. The model is built once and can then be reused for further views, variants and later projects. Every project is calculated individually based on the briefing, the details required and the desired functionality.
No. We build the entire configurator ourselves: design, 3D product, click logic, the overlay including coding, price calculator, screenshot export and animations of individual components including camera moves. No external development team needed, one contact for the entire project.
Real-time 3D view, switchable variants, colours and materials, live price calculation, directly accessible documents such as data sheets and manuals, and animations of individual product parts with camera movement. Embedded in your website, without plugins and without installation.
Yes, all renderings are created in high resolution, so they can be used for both digital and print formats.
You don't need a prototype. We work best with your CAD data, for example as a STEP file. If there isn't any yet, we build the model from technical drawings, sketches or photos.
That depends on the scope and the data available. You'll get the schedule together with the quote. If there's a fixed date coming up, such as a trade fair or product launch, tell us right away in our first call.
No. We're based in Ulm and work for clients in Ulm, Neu-Ulm, Illertissen, Memmingen and the Alb-Donau district just as much as across Germany and internationally. In that case we coordinate remotely.
We deliver images and videos in common formats (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, MOV, MP4) or as interactive 3D models and animations that can be used on various platforms. Let us know in advance where the files will be used and we'll adjust resolution and format accordingly.
When the product doesn't exist yet, has many variants, is still changing or needs to show its inner workings. For people and real places, photography is often stronger, and we frequently combine both. The quick check further up this page shows whether 3D is worth it for your product.
Yes. We create architectural visualizations mainly for supermarkets and retail. More on our architectural visualization page.
Our configurators run directly in the browser, without an app or plugin, also on tablets and smartphones. We give you a ready-made folder with all files, which you upload to your server via FTP. The configurator can then be embedded in your website.
In everyday use, all three terms mean the same thing: images created on a computer from a 3D model. Strictly speaking, CGI (computer-generated imagery) is the umbrella term for computer-generated images. Rendering is the step in which the computer calculates the finished image from model, material and light.
A rendering is created from your real design data, so every dimension, every component and every variant is correct. AI image generators invent details and don't reproduce a product exactly. We use AI deliberately for moods, backgrounds and commercials. When the product has to be exact, it comes from 3D. More on our AI Video & VFX page.
The prepared models stay in our system and can be used directly for later projects, such as new views, variants, animations or formats. That saves you time and effort on follow-up projects. If you'd like to take over the model yourselves, that's possible as a separate item.
WHAT GOES TOGETHER
Your renderings can be built straight into an image video, together with filmed footage, effects and motion graphics. Like with the Walther RS3, where filmed scenes transition seamlessly into rendered close-ups.
