Services: CAD Pre-Viz and Art Services

What’s it going to look like?

One item- – or your whole production:

*Simple to detailed pre-viz illustrations of your new costume or prop designs, using analog sketches, digital art or hybrid media.

Plus..

*3-D CAD diagrams, to scale, of your stage or set construction in Solidworks.

 

Pre-viz processes for costume design often look like this:

 

Client's collection of inspiration images
We ask clients to collect and show us costume elements and images that inspire them!

 

preliminary sketches of client's new costume design
We typically create preliminary, exploratory thumbnail sketches of client’s new costume design.

 

More detailed costume rendering combining client's inspiration images
We’ll create further, detailed costume rendering combining client’s inspiration images with fabric, trim & embroidery colors.
