Thanks to the ad agency Wray Ward for working with us on this image.

This CGI photo shows a trophy made out of Zip System products.

The cost is low and all funds go to support The Light Factory, for which Sean serves on the board. Today the Charlotte Observer ran an article featuring the photographers, which included this great photo of Sean (which had to be altered later in order to be published!). Sign up for my time slots, which will be on Saturday, May 30th (which is NOT Memorial Day weekend, by the way) here: http://lightfactory.org/shoot-out-2015/

Here’s the story: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/living/fashion/article20320161.html

This is a photo Sean took of himself for the Charlotte Observer.

This is all CGI, folks – beautiful, eh?!

Instead of having to create a whole production to photograph these vehicles, we were able to start with stock 3D to quickly and affordably render these images with the color, style, license plates, tires, angles, etc of our client’s choosing. No photo shoot necessary on this one – we had finished products to the client in the same amount of time it takes just to rent these cars. Yay CGI!

This image shows three vehicles our team rendered using stock CGI.

Stock 3D was used to perfect the right look for our advertising clients.

This shows a tractor trailer rig using Continental Tire's pressure sensor.

Well apparently a whole series of metabolic activities happen within the body that help with damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, increase cellular metabolism and much more. It’s like taking an ice bath, except it’s dry. It’s a health craze that you’ll hear about soon if you haven’t already. Here are a couple of the images we created for the rollout of these machines…

We used a combination of 3D imagery, illustration and photo compositing to produce the visuals below.  These will be printed in a new book about National Gypsum’s product lineup.

 

This is the National Gypsum logo.

This image show a building in the desert that we altered for this 3D project.

The classroom shown here shows us taking a stock photo and altering it to look like an architectural drawing.

The hospital scene was changed to show the National Gypsum product CGI revealed.

This locker room changed quite a bit as we revealed the product underneath the wall.

This gym was actually photographed by Sean.

P. Schneider, a fellow Charlotte photographer, captured some of this image before we enhanced it.

Peter Godshall, our digital team’s leader and a major music buff, decided to pay tribute to Les Paul (on what would have been his centennial birth year) by creating a CGI version of his favorite guitar.

This is a CGI photo of a les Paul guitar.

Another close-up of a Les Paul guitar.
These are the strings of our CGI photography.
The bridge of this guitar was created by our 3D software.
This is the final shot in our series of CGI renders of a guitar.
