I create high-end product visualization, CGI rendering and motion design for product launches, campaigns, e-commerce and paid media. Clear, controlled and built for commercial use.
External CGI support for brand, packaging and product teams, from packshots and campaign stills to short motion assets for launches, brandbooks and variant systems.
Two commissioned product films for New Things Lab, and concept pieces that show range without using client material.
A product animation for a minimalist timer, developed for social-first brand communication. Controlled motion, precise lighting and a clear focus on the object. The ZONE product received the iF Design Award 2025.

A product film built from CAD data, with detailed views and an animated writing sequence. CAD preparation, look development, lighting and animation by one artist.

A cinematic product visualization for a fragrance diffuser, where light, glass, vapor and material detail create a calm, premium brand atmosphere.

A chocolate folding carton that folds itself, frame by frame, from the flat blank to the closed box. Stop-motion film, social cut and a range of three flavours, with embossing and fibre edges built in 3D.

A study in light and glass. Refraction and caustics carry a short film across several shots, from the grain of the table to the glass in a single pool of light.
A CGI asset does not have to end in a render. The ZONE model from the product film also runs directly in the browser. Grab it and turn it.
In my work as a frontend developer I have already built several product configurators. For brands, that means one asset for stills, film and an interactive view on their own website.
Try every colour in the configuratorDrag to turn the model.
Typical agency work: CGI packshots for packaging projects, product visuals for brandbooks and launch decks, campaign stills based on existing design systems, short product animations, and variant systems for multiple SKUs, labels or packaging versions. Agency or freelancer, what fits when.
We define goals, use cases, audience and visual direction. References, data and brand guides become a clear working scope.
I build or prepare your product with the right level of detail, tailored to hero shots, close-ups and potential variants.
Shaders, reflections, transparency and lighting are tuned until the product feels believable, premium and aligned with the brand.
Composition, camera work and timing are developed around the product and its intended use, for stills, motion or both.
You receive previews for review. What a CGI project needs from you is covered in the journal. Two iteration rounds are included.
High-resolution renders, motion assets and final visuals delivered for web, print, social and other agreed outputs.
I work from Bavaria with brands and agencies on photoreal product visualization, CGI rendering and motion design. No extra layers, no unnecessary overhead, just a clear focus on image quality, speed and commercial usability.
Tools: Blender, Cycles, After Effects, Photoshop. Remote-first, and able to work closely within agency or launch workflows when needed.
A single photoreal product image for e-commerce, press or ad creatives, built with precise lighting, solid lookdev and delivery in high resolution.
A connected visual system for product launches or campaigns with multiple stills, scenes, variants and output formats.
Product animation for social, website hero sections, paid media or launch communication, built around a clear camera idea, timing and brand-appropriate lighting.
All three scopes are quoted individually, based on scope, complexity, usage rights and the number of final assets. Larger launch packages, product families and agency production support as well. Smaller scopes are possible when they build on an existing CGI setup.
“Niklas created excellent renders for our company. Communication was perfect and the result matched exactly what I had in mind. He genuinely cares about quality. Highly recommended.”
“I was extremely happy with my working experience with Niklas. He created animations for me. Even when requirements changed, he stayed professional, patient and fast. I would be thrilled to work with him again.”
“Niklas was by far the best freelancer I have worked with. His eye for detail and commitment were outstanding. He delivered exactly what I wanted and more.”
3D product visualization is the creation of photoreal renders and animations that show a product with controlled lighting, accurate materials and flexible perspectives. It allows high-end product imagery to be developed even when a physical shoot is not yet possible.
Many projects fall within 7 to 14 working days. Larger campaigns or motion projects take more time depending on the number of assets, product complexity and feedback rounds.
3D rendering focuses on still imagery with controlled light and realistic material behavior. Motion design adds animation, camera movement and timing for social, launches and campaign films.
Yes. I work remotely with agencies, brands and startups across different markets, either directly or as a specialized 3D partner within larger productions.
I use Blender for modeling, scene setup and animation, Cycles for photoreal rendering, and After Effects plus Photoshop for post-production and output preparation.
Every project is quoted individually, based on scope, complexity, usage rights and the number of final assets. A single hero rendering sits well below a campaign system with multiple stills and formats, a motion project above it. For a firm quote I need the product, the intended use and your timeline. See project sizes.
Both. I work with CAD files such as STEP, OBJ, FBX or IGES, but I can also reconstruct products cleanly from product photos, technical drawings or visual references.
Yes. I support product launches, campaign CGI, product families, animation and agency production when assets need to stay consistent across multiple formats.
Expertise and process notes for brands working with CGI.
Being brought in early usually pays off. Whether you need product visualization, CGI animation or campaign-ready still sets, I help turn products into visuals that feel clear, premium and aligned with the brand. The best projects usually start with a defined launch, campaign, product family or paid-media use case.
