Recommendations to others considering Cylindo:
Do your research and first determine exactly what your needs are. Don't be afraid to ask questions. There's a lot of industry lingo that you will need to learn. Do you want photorealistic pre-configured models, or lower quality models that are configured and rendered on the fly? Both are valuable depending on your exact need. There are many companies with similar product offerings but if you're looking for highly photo-realistic, high poly-count 3D models, definitely consider Cylindo. Realism was our #1 priority and that's why in the end we partnered with Cylindo and are true partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Cylindo solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our goal is to have end-consumers enter a partner retailer and ask for our brand by name. The Cylindo models and 360 viewer have gotten us closer to that goal. The ability to help the customer visualize the product in their chosen configuration with their chosen options is invaluable. Also, as noted above, when a retailer asks for a product photographed in a particular configuration or cover, we don't have to manufacture it and send it to photography. If we have the product 3D-modelled, we simply download the files we need from the Cylindo CMS. This is a huge time and cost saver. Finally. we have reduced our studio costs when creating lifestyle images. CGI lifestyle images generated using the models are way less expensive and faster to achieve compared to planning an executing an in-studio or on-location photo shoot. As we continue to model our product, in-studio lifestyle needs will continue to decrease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
