1. CAD Data Prep
Cleaning, tessellating, and organizing massive NURBS/STEP engineering data into manageable polygon meshes.
Precision Automotive CGI & Configurators
Photorealistic car renderings, heavy CAD data preparation, and immersive real-time configurators for OEM marketing and dealerships.
Book a Discovery CallThe "Full Pipeline" Approach
Converting unoptimized engineering CAD models into breathtaking, real-time marketing assets.
2. Retopology & LookDev
Optimizing geometry and developing hyper-realistic automotive paint, carbon fiber, and leather shaders.
3. Lighting & Environment
Setting up HDR studio lighting or photorealistic full-CGI backdrops for perfect reflections.
4. Final Output
Delivery of 8K print-ready renders or interactive Unreal Engine configurations.
Technical Breakdown
Optimization Challenge: Raw automotive CAD models often exceed 50 million polygons. Our pipeline intelligently tessellates and retopologizes these models down to sub-1-million polygons for real-time configurators, without losing visual fidelity or smooth reflections across A-class surfaces.

How We Collaborate
A transparent, predictable process operating under strict NDAs and secure data environments.
1. Data Ingestion & NDA
Secure transfer of proprietary CAD data under strict non-disclosure agreements.
2. Data Prep & Tessellation (Milestone 1)
Converting engineering models to polygonal meshes, optimizing topology based on target use-case.
3. LookDev & Shader Setup (Milestone 2)
Matching real-world physical paint samples and interior materials exactly to brand specifications.
4. Lighting & Environment Setup
Placing the vehicle in a virtual studio or realistic environment to dial in reflections and highlights.
5. Rendering & Post-Production
Executing high-res renders or cinematic sequences, followed by compositing and color grading.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle highly confidential, unreleased car models?
Security is our top priority. We sign strict NDAs, utilize enterprise-grade secure file transfers, and can operate on isolated internal networks to ensure your pre-release intellectual property is never compromised.
Can you build interactive configurators?
Yes. Using Unreal Engine's Variant Manager, we can build robust real-time configurators that allow users to change paint colors, rims, interiors, and trims instantly.
What CAD formats do you accept?
We accept almost all major engineering formats, including STEP, IGES, CATIA, SolidWorks, and Alias, utilizing enterprise tools like PiXYZ and Datasmith to import them accurately.
