How much does a render cost?

3 credits for HD and 8 credits for 4K. The price is shown before anything is charged, and credits for a render that fails are refunded automatically.

Does the render match my model exactly?

It is an AI image made from your 3D model, so the form, proportions and colours follow the model. Treat small details as approximate, and remember that the surroundings in an In use shot are generated.

Can I put my logo on the product or the box?

No. Logos and engraved text are not modelled, and the packaging concept box carries only the product name and tagline. Artwork is a job for a graphic or packaging designer.

Can I use the renders in a crowdfunding campaign?

Label them as concept renders wherever you use them, and check the platform's rules on renders and prototypes first. Do not present a concept as a finished product that people can buy today.

Photoreal renders of your product concept

A 3D view in the browser explains a product to you; a render explains it to everyone else. Once a concept looks right, Kubikly makes photoreal render shots of it in three kinds: on a studio backdrop, in use, and beside a packaging concept. They are AI images of your 3D model, made for feedback, discussion and early presentations.

Ideas you could start with

“Make the body matte forest green and the cap brushed steel before I render it”
“Add colourway variants in sand and charcoal so I can render each one”
“Switch to the travel version variant and make an In use render”
“Change the tagline to Pour without the drip before the packaging render”
“Give the handle a warmer oak tone for the Studio shot”

Three kinds of shot, three jobs

Studio: the product alone on a clean backdrop. Use it where the form is the point: a feedback survey, a pitch slide, a first conversation with a designer.
In use: the product in a realistic setting, with the surroundings generated around it. Use it when people need context to understand the idea, such as a clip that only makes sense on a bag strap.
Packaging concept: the product next to a retail box designed for it, with only the product name and tagline on the box. Use it to discuss shelf presence and price positioning; it is a concept to talk about, not print-ready artwork.

Rendering in Kubikly, step by step

Fix the model first and render last. A render shows the model as it is, so settle the proportions, the parts and the materials in chat before you spend credits.

Set materials and colours by asking, for example “matte black body, brushed steel cap”.
Make colourway variants, then switch to each one and render it, so people compare like with like.
Update the product name and tagline in the brief before a packaging render, since they are what the box carries.
Render in HD (3 credits) while you are still deciding, and in 4K (8 credits) for the shots you will actually use.

Before and after, side by side

Every variant is saved as a labelled version, so a render of the original and a render of the improved version use the same model and the same kind of shot. Shown together, they make the case for a change better than a description can. For an improvement of an existing product, a Studio render of each version next to each other is often the clearest single image you can show.

Using renders honestly

A render of a concept is not a photograph of a product, and the people you show it to should know that. The surroundings of an In use shot are generated, and the box in a packaging concept is an idea. Wherever you use renders, in a survey, a pre-launch page or a crowdfunding draft, say that they are concept renders. Crowdfunding platforms have their own rules on how renders and prototypes may be shown, so read them before you publish anything.

A render also cannot show what the model does not contain. Logos and engraved text are not modelled, and fine surface detail such as a knurled grip or a moulded label will not appear.
