The general Modus Operandi is based on whether there is a need to construct a 3D model from scratch, or if one is already existing. We have the knowledge and experience to supply jewellery designers with production ready models, that can then, in turn, be used for the visualisation process. There are two MO’s:

Constructing 3D models and visualisation process:

Simply supply us with drawings and dimensions (only the dimensions of the stones and a photograph would be necessary for standard gem stones, however we have 3D scanning capabilities for custom stone shapes), we will build the piece to specification, as a solid production ready 3D model, available in all formats on request*. This CAD modeling phase takes as long as is necessary in order to ensure the design is correct and accurate. Once the piece has been approved, we move on to the next MO, whereby it undergoes necessary alterations in preparation for the rendering and animation.

3D models are available, skip straight to visualisation process:

A virtual studio environment is built according to the expectations of the jewellery designer, we work on custom studios for each designer, in order to maximise unique results for the jewellery pieces and to work within branding constraints, if there are any. Each studio is a set up within itself, but can thereafter be used again and again, ensuring brand continuity throughout the rendering of all the pieces in a collection, and animated videos. We offer both web and print resolution images, post production and layout are included, and up to 4K resolution animations in every format. If you would like to know more, or would like to request a price list, please contact us directly or submit a form.

** A note here that this depending on the modeling price, it grants the jewellery designer limited usage rights to the 3d model. If the  jewellery designer would want to own the sole rights to the model in question, it would be at a higher cost. In all other cases the 3d model remains the sole intellectual property of us as, ECT, the CAD designer.
