What is CGI and 3D Modelling?

Using the latest technologies to save you money

While the term Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) is historically celebrated across Hollywood cinema, these exact cutting-edge pipelines are now entirely within the affordable reach of your business marketing budget. Our studio creates custom, hyper-realistic 3D models constructed directly from physical reference samples, blueprints, or conceptual design drawings. Note that CGI is not AI. The models are created by us, using computers to exactly match your product specifications and look.

By meticulously applying high-fidelity digital textures—ranging from optical glass and polished chrome to organic fabrics and brushed metals—we place your products inside entirely virtual studio environments. We sculpt lighting profiles and animate synthetic camera paths to deliver pristine, photorealistic assets engineered to elevate your brand layouts.

The realism of modern commercial rendering is entirely indistinguishable from traditional camera work. Global enterprise entities have systematically overhauled their asset production models; for instance, upwards of 75% to 80% of entire IKEA product catalogs are generated purely through 3D CGI rendering pipelines. Industry leaders choose commercial CGI because it unlocks limitless flexibility, guarantees absolute cross-platform asset consistency, and removes the continuous recurring expenses associated with setting up repetitive physical studio sessions. Take a look at our CGI gallery to see for yourself.

How CGI Can Help You

Maximise the ROI on your product photography

No Need To Ship Your Products To Us

It may be obvious but, with traditional photography, we'll need the items in our possession for to us to be able to photograph them.

With CGI, however, that may not be necessary. When we construct a 3D model, we can work from images, drawings and specifications to make the object accurate in dimension and texture.

This applies to anything but is particularly useful for businesses who are reluctant to ship high-value items (e.g. jewellery and watches), large or unwieldy items (e.g. machinery or kitchens), items that need to be constructed or affixed (e.g. door handles need to be attached to a door) or even items that don't even exist in for real yet (e.g. a new product that is still on the drawing board).

The Limitless Photoshoot

Traditional product photoshoots naturally demand incredibly rigid creative briefs, fixed location logistics, and static prop requirements. While highly effective for short-term rollouts, this model restricts your brand architecture to a fixed point in time.

With a custom 3D product model securely archived inside our digital catalog, a completely new marketing asset is always just a phone call away. Your core brand asset can be repurposed on the fly to generate clean white-background e-commerce packshots, contextual social media lifestyle layouts, or premium print-ready advertising still-lifes—safeguarding your long-term marketing budget against the steep costs of setting up physical reshoots every time a campaign parameters shift.

Pre-visualisation in the Design Workflow

Your product looks amazing in matte black. What would it look like in gloss black... in chrome... in race-car red? Or what if you already have those variations in your products? It's a simple matter to create the same images with different product variations.

Imagine you have a white-label product and you are preparing a proposal for a high-profile client. Wouldn't it be amazing to show them in that proposal what the product will look like for real, emblazoned with their own branding? No problem, we can do that.

If we have a model of your product, we can reconfigure that model easily and quickly for your needs, to product new, realistic images that save you money on the fabrication of prototypes and impress your clients and leads.

Don't forget Video!

Of course we're not limited to still images.

Using CGI to create video is very cost effective and can enable us to achieve movement that would be incredibly difficult or costly to do in the real world. Video clips can be merged and composited into real-world video too!

It's great for explainer videos - products (and the camera) can move without human intervention or wires that need to be hidden in post-processing. Check out an example of one of our explainer videos for Tayhope which shows how their multi-access locking system works.

Keep Your Website Visitors Engaged

More and more people are turning to online sites for shopping rather than hitting the high-street. In a world where your competitor's products are of equal quality it will be customer service that will be the key differentiator for companies.

Customers are seeking to bridge the gap between the convenience of online shopping and the experience of physical, real-world shopping. Technology is helping to bridge that gap with more immersive experiences using 3D and augmented reality (AR) models. Using these technologies can increase your web page visitors' dwell times by up to 50% which will, in turn, increase your conversions. These interactive images are also great for mimicking natural light and studio lighting without the inconvenience of setting up and moving locations to get high quality images.

At Skyhawk Pictures we specialise in producing these 3D augmented reality images. With these images you can spin the product and look around it and zoom in to the detail.

But even if you want the more usual, static high quality product photography, we will of course provide you with stunning images that will boost customer trust and desire in your business. To learn more, contact us today!
