A compact collection of rendered product studies focused on material behaviour, lighting control, and object storytelling.

3D visualisation, lighting, material direction, product storytelling

A CGI portfolio has to prove more than software control. It needs to show whether the object feels intentional, whether materials read correctly, and whether the render can make a product feel desirable without relying on clutter.

“Strong product CGI works when the viewer understands the object before noticing the rendering technique.”

01

Built compact render studies around controlled lighting, material response, camera discipline, and object hierarchy.

02

Used restraint in composition so surface, scale, shadow, and silhouette could carry the story.

03

Sequenced the work as a visual capability sample rather than a loose render dump.

Material first

Surfaces were treated as the main proof of craft, with careful attention to reflection, roughness, and edge behaviour.

Controlled framing

Camera angles were kept deliberate so each render reads like a product image, not a software output.

Portfolio pacing

The project was structured to show range while keeping the visual language compact and consistent.

The object has to feel designed before the render feels impressive.
