In 2009, James Cameron released Avatar, a science-fiction adventure film developed primarily with 3D technology. The blockbuster drew audiences into the most immersive digital world ever created and captured – and redefined what the cinematic experience means for many.
Today, 3D technology is similarly revolutionizing the B2B world – with 3D product renderings that are keeping the B2B audience at the edge of their seats entirely mesmerized by the magic of photo-realistic computer-generated models.
There’s no surprise why.
By removing the limitations of the real world and enhancing the appearance of a product, 3D product renderings truly capture all of the intricacies that otherwise couldn’t be captured. From semiconductors, industrial equipment and automobiles, anything imaginable can be digitally modeled in any form, environment and perspective.
From design, production and marketing, a 3D product rendering is a valuable tool in the B2B world – and it’s only becoming more necessary.
It’s Much Faster & More Detailed
In the B2B market, photographs and videos are a great way of presenting the design and value of a product. But in this modern world, are they still the best method?
Photographs and videos can only show your product exactly as it appears in the real world. That means spending time drafting, scheduling, gathering equipment, creating the environment, adjusting the lighting and angles, snapping the shots and spending countless hours on extensive editing.
Even then, depending on the complexity of the product, a photograph or video may not do justice.
This is where 3D product renderings come into play.
A 3D product rendering cuts the time needed for production and allows for a highly detailed view of any product, regardless of its intricacies and real-world limitations.
It’s Cost-Efficient & Sustainable
Photographs and videos are not only time-consuming, but they are also costly to produce. The entire process is an avoidable financial commitment.
As mentioned, 3D product renderings are extremely valuable in any production phase, whether you’re designing, manufacturing or marketing. They drastically cut down on spending and unnecessary waste by eliminating the management, planning and execution needed to develop photographs and videos.
Most of all, streamlining production and reducing waste catapults a company to the forefront of sustainability where other forward-thinking, carbon-footprint-conscious B2B companies reside.
It Optimizes Marketing & Improves User Experience
For many B2B companies, trade shows are essential to their marketing strategy. The real-world limitations of photographs and videos are resolved by allowing the audience to experience a product in person – for the most part.
There has been some chatter about trade shows being a thing of the past. But that’s not true at all. The fact is that trade shows are relevant (and will continue to be an essential part of the B2B world), but they must continue evolving with the times.
This is why trade shows are becoming more of a hybrid event. For this reason, integrating virtual elements into a trade show presentation, like 3D product renderings, can optimize the experience for both the virtual and in-person trade show attendees.
Regardless of the circumstance, 3D product renderings are a valuable tool that provides potential and existing consumers the ability to explore a product’s design features and advantages – and makes it easier to understand the technical aspects of the product, like installation, operation and maintenance.
It Improves Brand Image & Boosts Investments
At the end of the day, investors and consumers want straightforward information that is easy to understand. This is why 3D product renderings are important. The ability to present products completely in depth, regardless of their complexities and real-world limitations, creates the opportunity for brands to build relationships based on transparency and trust.
In the same way 3D technology has elevated the cinematic experience and created a new standard for how stories are told, 3D product renderings are becoming the new standard for how products are presented in the B2B world.
