What is a 3D rendering?
A 3D rendering is the result of a digital imaging process used to create a 3-dimensional digital image of your product using flat artwork files. Models are created of the product, with shadows and lighting added to give accurate perspective.

When should I use this service?
Our 3D Rendering service can be used whenever you want a digital image of your product. It can replace the need for a photographer and can be created as soon as your artwork is ready – no need to wait for the final packaging to be printed. We create various file formats from the master image, for both print and online uses.

Can you render nontraditional packaging such as bottles and cans?
Through our digital imaging services, we have created incredibly realistic renderings of a variety of “out of the box” packages, including cans, bottles and CDs. If the artwork exists, we can render it.

What kind of techniques should I consider to make the images interesting?
We have a variety of techniques at our disposal, including drop or cast shadows, the use of angles to give a more accurate perspective, hero shots to promote a specific product, and more. It depends on the uses and goals of the rendering. We can work with you to determine the optimal effects for your use.

What kind of file does AppArt deliver?
AppArt can deliver any type of file you need from the master rendered image – high-resolution files for printing resolutions of 300 dpi or above, such as EPS & Tif, or lo-res for online use such as jpg, bmp or gif.

Can the images AppArt supplies be resized?
AppArt works with you to determine the standard sizes most of your users would need so they don’t have to resize. Choosing a high-resolution file as part of your deliverables will allow those to be scaled down to smaller sizes/resolutions.

What kind of files should we provide you?
We can work with any type of art source/layout files such as EPS, InDesign, Quark, FreeHand. Even PDF. Just include the file, with the fonts and links. That’s it! We’ll do the rest.
