CGI
An archive of 3D modeling and photoreal rendering — a discipline the studio still reaches for when a composite needs an element the camera didn’t capture.

Over the years, Mode Imaging has provided CGI modeling and rendering for Broadway show advertising — broadcast billboards and outdoor print for productions including Hamilton, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Chess, and many others.
The first four pieces in this gallery come from that body of work: show artwork rebuilt as dimensional models — typography given real depth, materials, and light — and rendered to hold up at outdoor scale.

One perfume bottle for an invented house, shot as a fragrance campaign: the bottle from above in shallow water, the line together in three sizes, the bottle on water under a peach sky, and the engraved gold medallion up close.
A hybrid of CGI and AI. The bottle, cap and sets are 3D models, built and rendered; two frames take an AI pass on the glass and engraving, and every frame is retouched by hand. The same series is on the AI Imaging page.
