So what actually makes a render look real? imagine.io’s rendering engine goes beyond the basics. It simulates the physics of light, texture, and material properties just like a professional studio would. The results? Shadows that fall naturally, reflections that respond dynamically, and surfaces—whether velvet, leather, or glass—that look true to touch.

The ability to match real-world realism isn’t just a visual trick—it’s a strategic advantage. It allows brands to build trust instantly through consistency and high-quality presentation, without the operational headache of a traditional shoot.

Anyone who’s coordinated a product shoot knows the drill: lighting constraints, fixed sets, rushed timelines, and waiting on product samples. imagine.io turns all of that on its head.

With our 3D visual platform, creative teams gain full control over every single visual component—from camera angles and lighting moods to wall colors, floor types, and background props.

Let’s say your furniture brand is launching a line of modern sofas. You want one set of visuals in a minimalist Scandinavian setup and another in a warm, cozy living room. Traditionally, you'd be looking at two different locations, two separate shoots, and double the cost. With imagine.io? One 3D model, endless environments.

That kind of flexibility is gold when you’re running seasonal campaigns, testing new markets, or personalizing imagery for different audience segments

The studio process adds up quickly: photography fees, location rentals, shipping products, staging, editing—it all eats into your margins. By switching to imagine.io, brands can reduce production costs by up to 80% and cut timelines in half.

Take Sarreid Ltd., a premium furniture brand. After adopting imagine.io for their product visuals, they doubled their output speed and drastically slashed their production budget. And because our renders match studio quality, their marketing team didn’t have to compromise on aesthetics or branding.

This kind of operational efficiency matters—especially for businesses with large catalogs or high SKU turnover.

The technology isn’t just theoretical—it’s already being used by some of the most forward-thinking brands in home furnishings, sleep products, consumer electronics, and more.

Sinomax, a leading memory foam mattress company, integrated imagine.io’s renders into their digital catalog. The result? An 88% increase in click-through rates and a noticeable uptick in engagement across their product pages.

Why? Because the visuals didn’t just “look good”—they looked real. The kind of reality that makes customers pause, zoom in, and picture the product in their lives.

When customers know exactly what they’re getting, they feel confident pressing “Add to Cart.” Realistic product imagery helps set the right expectations, which ultimately reduces returns and increases satisfaction.

In a recent visual accuracy survey taken by over 100 eCommerce professionals, participants were asked to distinguish between AI-generated CGI images and real studio photography. The result? With an average score of just 49.6 out of 100, the majority couldn’t reliably tell the difference.

This underscores just how lifelike and trustworthy CGI visuals have become. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about delivering clarity and building customer confidence at scale.

We’re at a turning point in digital commerce. Shoppers expect product visuals that feel real, immersive, and trustworthy—while marketing and merchandising teams are being asked to deliver more content, faster, and with fewer resources.

This is where imagine.io makes a real difference. By combining cutting-edge rendering technology with intuitive creative tools, imagine.io gives your team the power to produce studio-quality visuals without the traditional overhead of photography. Whether you're expanding your catalog, testing new markets, or meeting platform-specific content standards, our platform helps you scale your visuals without scaling your production headaches.
