Photo & Video References
Good reference photos and videos help us model your products accurately. Learn which images, details, dimensions and videos to send.
Send us the right images and your products can be modelled quickly and accurately. The examples below show the type of images and details that help us create 3D models from photos.
Even if you provide CAD models, images like these are extremely useful. They show us the real product behaviour for things like wrinkles, creases, welds and stitching.
Key images
Send a series of key images showing the overall form of the product. In this example, the product is a chair:
Important details
Highlight any important details, ideally with notes:
What not to send
Avoid photos taken into the light. In the example below, the image on the left was taken into the light with the focus on the outside, which makes it dark. This is an extreme case, but your images should look like the one on the right, labelled good lighting.
Dimensions
Send as many dimensions as you can, from as many angles as possible. Below is an example of the dimensions we need:
Video
A video taken around the product, like the one below, is an added bonus. We can extract images from these videos to use as references.
