CGI capacity that fits into your existing process.
Most agencies do not keep permanent CGI capacity, because the workload fluctuates. That is what I am for: external production that fits into your process instead of demanding its own.
Brief as it already exists
Layout, moodboard, dieline or storyboard. No form of mine, no extra process.
Production
Modelling, material, lighting and camera. We agree review milestones and consolidated feedback rounds. Additional changes are agreed before production.
Previews to you
Not to the end client. You decide what goes into approval and in what order.
Delivery in your formats
Aspect ratios, resolutions and file types from your format list, not mine.
The work runs under your name.
No credit, no logo, no mention in my portfolio if you do not want it. I sign an NDA without discussion, that comes with the territory.
Where a credit is possible I am glad to have it. It is never a condition.
Fixed windows instead of one-off requests.
For agencies with recurring demand, a fixed monthly window works better than project by project. You reserve a number of hours, I keep them free, and you fill them with whatever is current.
The benefit runs both ways: you do not have to ask each time and hope. I can plan. Scope, feedback rounds and the use of reserved capacity are agreed in advance.
What you supply.
CAD or dieline
Where available. Otherwise dimensions, drawings and reference photographs to rebuild from.
Artwork as vector
PDF, AI or EPS, along with the spot varnish, foil and emboss specifications.
A format list
Which aspect ratios and resolutions are needed in the end, including retail requirements.
References or layout
So the visual language runs in your direction from the start.
In detail: what a CGI project needs before it can start.
What you get back.
Stills up to 4K
Higher on request for print, in every agreed aspect ratio.
Transparent cut-outs
PNG or TIFF where packshots sit on changing backgrounds.
Animation versions
From the same scene, when motion is part of the job.
The scene on request
As an open project file, if you want to reuse it later yourselves.
Where the limit sits.
I am one person. For a range of sixty articles in four weeks I am the wrong partner, and I would rather say that beforehand than after accepting.
Single products, product families, launch sets and ongoing support work well. How this compares to an agency solution is under agency or freelancer.
What a client says
“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.”
Questions agencies ask.
Yes, that is the normal case. The work runs under the agency name, without credit and without appearing in my portfolio if that is what is wanted. An NDA comes with it.
Usually not directly. Previews go to the agency, which decides what goes into approval. On request I work inside your review tool.
Yes. For agencies with recurring demand, a reserved number of hours per month works better than one-off requests. Scope, feedback rounds and the use of reserved capacity are agreed in advance.
Single products, product families and launch sets work well. For ranges of many dozens of articles under time pressure, one person becomes the bottleneck, and I flag that in advance.
