When people talk about the metaverse, the parallel world in the digital universe, there is always a central question: Why do we need it? Is it a game or in fact a consequential virtual extension of the physical self in this new completely networked world? One thing is clear: a virtual space in the metaverse does not need to follow any physical laws and, accordingly, it develops its own aesthetic system.

In the virtual space, the sky is the limit when it comes to creative possibilities, allowing incredible, often surreal things to be realized. Danthree Studios are not interested in the fantastic, however, but rather in accurately reflecting and reproducing elements from the real world.

using know how from the physical world to create successful CGI images

 

Danthree Studio designs imaginary interiors, architecture and virtual objects with the help of 3D software. Their goal is to render their designs, including furnishings and shadows, as photorealistically as possible and in keeping with the client’s brand and CI. Today, many companies understandably prefer this approach to visual marketing. Firstly it is much more cost-effective when compared to elaborate photo productions in a studio or on location. Additionally, colors and the texture of the objects shown can be changed with just a few clicks.

And with more and more higher-priced products being personally configured and sold online, it is important to present offerings in a precise and brand-appropriate manner. If, for example, manufacturers offer their sofas in numerous textile and leather options, the model does not have to be photographed numerous times. Rather, it is sufficient to place the texture as a rendered mask over the virtual wireframe model to get at least an overall visual impression of the desired product.

3D Visualization with strategic foresight

 

The art of creating so-called Computer Generated Imagery (CGI for short) requires, of course, more than simply a good knowledge of the software. In order to present a brand in the right light in the furniture, home and living sectors, the right advice and strategic foresight is crucial. This is precisely what Daniel Schuster’s agency offers. Danthree Studio is not solely a CGI provider, It is location scout and set designer, lighting expert as well as photographer all in one – only in the virtual realm and without a camera. The design process also depends on know-how in the field of construction.

After all, the Danthree Studio team models every tiny detail of a real product on screen, a so-called digital twin, because it is a 1:1 replica of the real existing product as a photo-realistic 3D model. It counts therefore as a great advantage of Schuster’s that he started his professional life as a master carpenter and interior designer before founding Danthree Studio, while also growing up in a family carpenter’s workshop that is over 100 years old.

The proximity to practice helps him and his team to better understand the products with their materiality before they are reproduced three-dimensionally. Especially when it is not a matter of staging a room, but of modelling a single object in 3D in such a way that it can be presented afterwards, for example, as a photo-realistic 3D visualization or 3D animation, or even as an augmented reality model.

 

 

 

Working out brand identities

 

 

visual marketing with cgi that inspires and informs

 

The fact that a closer look perhaps then reveals the rendering does not detract from the matter. On the contrary, it preserves the character of this still new art form, which, unlike photography, is still establishing itself. We have all seen old brochures and catalogues from the past from international design brands in which the furniture has been drawn in detail by illustrators. Just like these, 3D visualizations should inform and inspire.

Danthree Studio sees itself as a consulting and creative CGI agency for visual marketing that works with its clients to design strategies tailored to their target groups and realizes them with high-quality 3D visualizations or 3D animations. For brands and online shops from the furniture, home and lifestyle industries as well as for design, architecture or interior design office – for the here and now, for high-quality and creative visual marketing.
