What is the workflow of CGI for jewelry?1. Firstly, to begin a project, clients provide all the information required. For jewellery visualizations, we require things such as 3D models, drawings, design specifications, sketches, mood boards or other types of information clients may have. 2. To clarify, we will check all of the content the clients have provided and ask for more details if necessary. In addition, a meeting, phone call or Skype call is always beneficial. To sum up, this helps avoid any misconception and allows us to shorten turnaround times for 3D rendering services. 3. We start working as soon as we understand all of the details the task requires and time frames have been agreed by both parties. Our 3D artists keep in constant contact with the clients throughout this process, with regular updates. 4. After that, we present the first cut jewellery renders to you for comments and review. Then, adjustments are made. 5. Upon approval the final rendering happens. 6. Finally, the 3D visuals are presented, after post-production, in expected resolution with full quality lighting, reflections, glossiness, and materials.
