95% of the work we do at Externa is focused on realistically representing products. But sometimes, we need to have things get a little more moody.
No Product on hand? No problem.
What happens if you have a scheduled product launch and you can’t get product photography? Well, that’s easy. CGI. The why and the how are a little bit more involved.
They cancelled all our trade shows. Ok, so what now?
Everything is upside down, our home and work lives have been tossed in a a blender. So what now?
Helmets in Motion
And of course, anything that we can render as a still image we can animate as well!
Making Multiples a Snap!
One of the biggest advantages of CG imaging is the ability to quickly, and inexpensively, create multiple variants. Let’s say you have a product, and that product comes in fifteen different finishes. Or maybe that product comes in 115 different finishes. Capturing those finishes can start to get expensive, especially with traditional photography.
Making Products Dance!
Sometimes the products are simple. How can you infuse life and excitement into an every day object? That is exactly the question we asked ourselves with this quick little animation of the humble whisk!
Animating a JDM Legend
At Externa, we have lots of passions. One which can be attributed to our Creative Director, is that of 70’s and 80’s classic Japanese sports cars.
The Power (and Importance!) of Compositing and Post-Production
Linking CGI with traditional photography can provide great benefits, all by spending a little extra time in Photoshop. Very rarely does an image render out and not need any retouching at all!
Flex’n with Robots
We spent a little free time making a really cool industrial robot animation. Check it out!
