From two photographs to a professional 3D model

  • Jul 21

The requirement


The client did not have a CAD model of the product.


The only materials available were two photographs of a candle.


A practical example is the development of 3D sneakers for e-commerce and web configurators.


The aim was to transform a simple photographic reference into professional-quality content that could be used for marketing and technical communication.



The solution


We completely rebuilt the product in 3D.


The workflow involved:

  • Optimised low-poly modelling;

  • High-definition high-poly modelling;

  • Creation of PBR materials;

  • Photorealistic lighting;

  • Rendering;

  • 3D animation.


The result is an accurate, lightweight digital model, ready for any future use.



Where it can be used


Once the 3D model has been created, the possibilities are virtually limitless.


  • Photorealistic renderings

  • Images with transparent backgrounds

  • 3D videos

  • Technical animations

  • Social media

  • Catalogues

  • Brochures

  • E-commerce

  • 3D configurators

  • Technical manuals

  • Sales presentations

  • Training


A practical example is the development of 3D sneakers for e-commerce and web configurators.


The benefits


  • A single model for all company departments

  • No need to recreate new images every time

  • Consistent communication across all channels

  • Reduced time and costs in content production

  • The ability to show the product from any angle, even when the physical product is not available



Behind the solution


It all started with two simple photographs.


From there, we:

  • Analysed the product;

  • Modelled the low-poly version;

  • Created the high-poly model with all the details;

  • Recreated materials and textures;

  • Studied lighting and rendering;

  • Prepared the model for future animations and content.


The real value lies not in the final rendering, but in the 3D model, which allows new content to be generated whenever needed.

Do you have a similar requirement?


Do you only have photographs of your product?


Or is the CAD model unavailable or unsuitable for communication purposes?


We can transform a simple reference into a professional 3D model, ready for use in creating renderings, videos, configurators and technical content that you can continue to use over time.
