Istudied industrial design in college. Industrial designers create products while being sensitive to aesthetics, ergonomics and cultural appropriateness. Today, industrial designers use CAD software to realize their ideas in a digital 3D space. Once a digital model is created, designers use rendering software to add textures, materials and lighting. The final output of a 3D rendering software is a computer-generated image (CGI) or picture, called a rendering. The rendering closely resembles the product that will be manufactured.

Verbal communication is critical to working with clients. Understanding new products, explaining your ideas and asking good questions goes a long way. Equally important is written communication for email and documentation. And finally, visual communication is critical. Being able to use images to illustrate an idea or concept is at the core of what a product visualizer does.


Render artists use 3D rendering software to create photo-realistic images and animations. To specialize in making stunning images, a render artist must be exceptionally familiar with the software. Thankfully, most designers are tech-savvy and able to create decent renderings. Thus, a product visualizer must be a pro with one or more rendering programs.


There are quite a few render engines available for most major DCCs (digital content creation) software. However, these render engines usually come in the form of plugins. Plugins must operate within the host application. Below are a list of some of the most popular DCCs along with compatible render engine plugins.


So, which software do most render artists use? The line between VFX and product visualization is becoming fuzzy. Someone coming from product design and development, will most likely use KeyShot since it works so well with CAD models. But, if someone comes from a VFX background they will likely use a popular DCC and accompanying plugin render engine. This allows one to create more complex visuals.


Any business that produces consumer electronics faces stiff competition and needs to make their products look irresistible to drive sales. Therefore, the marketing imagery is what makes a brand stand out against its competition.


Appliances are large household products that are often expensive to prototype and logistically difficult to photograph. Larger products require bigger settings and light sources than is often convenient.


Many business that use technology or innovative materials to solve complex solutions rely on educational videos. These videos can include visuals to demonstrate how their products work to solve problems.


How much money a render artist earns depends on skills, specialty, demand, experience and employment status. Of course, as skill level, experiences and demand for one increases, so does earnings potential.


One of the largest factors in earnings potential is employment status. For example, an in-house, full-time render artist will likely to earn between $75,000 and $130,000. A big factor is location. Of course, this position in Silicone Valley will pay more than it would in rural Indiana.


Like any other field, so much depends on demand, specialization, marketing and personal network. Generally speaking, freelance render artists have a higher earnings potential than in-house employees. Note, I said earnings potential, not median income.


I'm working on a visualisation of a black and a white object. Everything looks fine when the product is black. But the closer I come to white the more flat the product appears and the reflections seem to disappear.


I could increase the specular- or metallic-value for the white object to bring back the reflections but that doesn't make sense because it's not a different material compared to the black object. It's just an other color.


Also I could create another HDRI with increased lights for the white object. But this is extra work again and makes it impossible to have both objects in the scene when they only look good with one certain HDRI.


White non-metallic surfaces have less shiny reflectivity than black ones of the same smoothness, because white surfaces disperse more light (in multiple directions). Combined with that is the optical illusion that light on a dark object is more visible to the eye than light on a light object. If you already have a white object and you try to make it more white, it's not going to increase as much in visual brightness.


If you are not at all happy with the workings of the principled shader you can make your own node system by mixing the glossy shader with the diffuse shader and using fresnel (in case of a non metallic object)


Another solution for you might also to increase the contrast of the HDRI by using a gamma node which should make the reflections appear brighter, or use color management to increase the overall gamma of the image.


At XO3D we create stunning Product Visualisation for any industry. After 15 years of experience in the 3D rendering field, no job is a challenge. Likewise, we are professional, easy to work with and provide an exceptional quality of work at a great value.


A picture is worth a thousand words, and the data seems to back that up. But what about a 360-degree image that allows you to see right around the product? In conclusion, these visuals are the next step to assist you in online sales.


The team at XO3D were a pleasure to work with on one of our big product launches. They rendered, batched, and saved out literally thousands of images for us. Every single one of these images came out perfect! They also did some 3D animation with us and were very accommodating to any feedback + timeline adjustments. My team will certainly work with XO3D again!


Product visualisation is the process of creating a 3D representation of a product or object. It is used to help people understand the product better, and can be used for marketing, design, engineering, and other purposes. It can be used to create realistic images of products that can be used in advertising or on websites.


Products that can be visualised include physical items such as furniture, clothing, and electronics; digital products such as websites, apps, and software; and intangible products such as services, experiences, and ideas. Visualisation can create a more engaging experience for customers by providing them with an interactive way to explore a product or service.


Product visualisation can help businesses by providing customers with a better understanding of the product. It can also help to increase customer engagement and trust, as customers can see the product in detail before making a purchase. Product visualisation can also help to reduce returns, as customers will have a better idea of what they are buying before they make their purchase.


Product CGI is a powerful tool that can help businesses better understand their products and services. It allows them to quickly and easily create realistic 3D models of their products, which can be used for marketing, product design, prototyping, and more. The benefits of product visualisation include improved communication between stakeholders, faster product development cycles, increased customer engagement, and cost savings.


Product visualisation costs can vary depending on the complexity of the project and the services required. Generally, prices range from a few hundred dollars for basic 3D modelling to several thousand dollars for more complex projects that require animation or interactive elements.


Easily dive into 3D product data while viewing the bill of materials (BOM). Utilize an easy-to-use, intuitive set of DMU features to view, analyze and markup 3D data. Collaborate with your colleagues using 3D snapshots that accurately capture BOM context and 3D view information that can interchange between CAD and visualization applications.
