CGI in Food Industry

Want to make the food look the very best? Worried about the greens in the salad wilting under hot lights, or ice melting before you can get a beautiful shot of the food? Whether viscous or fully fluid, they steam. But when created in CG, even your noodles can all be tamed to do exactly what you want; leading you to a uniquely perfect result.

Why not reinvent the food digitally?

From glorious chocolates to perfect pieces of fruit and beautiful cakes you can create food imagery using the full range of modern digital techniques – CGI

In the digital age we live in, our children on average are exposed to 25 million food and drink ads a year on their top 10 favourite sites alone. Brands need to adapt their content to the palates of children and the best way to do that is with CGI.

CGI can be applied in a variety of degrees; from subtle enhancements to reality-bending images with a creative statement. With a clear vision, great ideas can be sleekly executed to showcase not only the appearance and audio of food but also the texture, aroma, and taste, opening creative pathways to new, unique content with real consumer appeal. With full control over every aspect of a CGI, one can make food look even better than in real life.

CGI provides control and consistency to a campaign. By modeling the food in 3D, animators can recreate a simulacrum of food that looks appealing. Every time it is not possible to prepare real food to an exact specification. When design details and exact execution are paramount, CGI provides control and consistency to a campaign. With the help of CGI, you can add tiny touches of moisture to make fruit look a bit more succulent, carefully considered highlights and reflection; – the results are mouth-watering.

    Is CGI A Better and Scalable Solution than Traditional Photography?

    In our increasingly digitized lives, it’s no news that Computer Generated Images (CGI) are taking over from traditional photography. With the advent of CGI, the entire approach to product photography has been revolutionized. CGI is quickly becoming the go-to tool for advertisers, as advanced technology has made it more accessible and cost-effective. When compared to traditional photography, CGI offers many advantages to companies in terms of time and cost.

    Here are some advantages of using CGI over traditional photography.

    #1 Saves Time

    Traditional photography takes at least a week to arrange actual products, and props, decide the locations, etc. In traditional photography, you need to manually set up the lighting and props and then, for further time, get the images done. CGI offers to create realistic and high-quality images in less time. With CGI, it hardly takes a day to generate high-quality images with any background. CGI designers can add any location and backdrop to your products with the click of a mouse to make them look appealing to the audience.

    #2 Cost-effective

    With CGI technology, there is no need for an actual photoshoot. It eliminates the need to hire expensive crews for photography. CGI is rendered using advanced software and technologies and, hence, does not require you to travel to exotic locations to get the perfect backdrop to photograph and film your products. It reduces the logistics and travelling costs incurred for traditional photoshoots. CGI also eliminates shipping costs.

    #3 Margin of Error

    In the case of traditional photography, the chances of error are higher, as anything can go wrong while doing a live photoshoot. However, with CGI, the margin of error is negligible and it allows companies to showcase their products in every size/color/angle/texture. CGI lets you alter product images without needing to reshoot.

    #4 Visualization

    CG Visualization

    CGI offers a way to produce images for products that do not physically exist yet. But with traditional photography, you can shoot a car only after it has been prototyped. CGI is a great solution to acquire photorealistic images of the product before it’s physically produced.

    #5 Accessibility

    Creating something using CGI means you will always have access to the digital file. Once the CGI version of the product has been made, it can be used over and over for future product images. This means you can access it whenever you like, allowing you to change any style elements, products, or moods without having to re-shoot. Creating a computer-generated model of a product gives you a complete record of it – this could be delivered in all kinds of angles, colors, and textures, without any design or size restrictions.
