Cover of the guide on pricing a product launch as a photo shoot or as product CGI

Free guide: a 33-asset launch cost $27,670 shot and $11,830 from one model

The images above are one part of what a product needs to go on sale. A full launch runs to thirty-odd assets: packshots for every retailer, lifestyle, texture close-ups, a 360 spin and a short film. We priced 33 of them both ways, $27,670 through a photo shoot and $11,830 as product CGI from one model. The guide gives you the side-by-side, what to build once and the brief to send.

Photography or CGI — why did a nutrition brand choose 3D?
CGI gives full control over product, ingredients, liquids, and athletic context without repeated studio and location shoots. It lets a brand build a complete, consistent launch asset set quickly and cost-effectively.
Can CGI make powders, gels, and liquids look appetizing and real?
Yes. Physically based materials and accurate lighting reproduce powders, gels, effervescence, and packaging with a high degree of realism, so the range looks premium and trustworthy.
Can CGI communicate the science behind a formula?
Absolutely. Lab-inspired scenes and ingredient visuals can signal rigour and quality, helping athletes trust what’s inside the product, not just the packaging.
What types of assets can come from one CGI project?
A single production can generate hero campaign images, ingredient and product close-ups, endurance lifestyle scenes, social content, and advertising creative.
Is CGI suitable for ecommerce and retail?
Yes. Consistent, high-quality renders let athletes evaluate the range clearly, strengthening presentation across online listings and in-store displays.
Can the same assets be reused across markets and channels?
Yes. CGI scenes can be re-rendered or adapted for different formats, languages, and placements without new shoots, keeping a launch consistent worldwide.
How does product visualization support a nutrition brand launch?
It gives every channel a unified, credible look from day one, accelerating campaign rollout, retail onboarding, and social activation while keeping production costs predictable.
What products and campaigns benefit most from this approach?
Supplement and nutrition launches, ingredient storytelling, and performance campaigns — especially when a brand needs to build trust and make fuel feel premium.
