The team at XO3D were a pleasure to work with on one of our big product launches. They rendered, batched, and saved out literally thousands of images for us. Every single one of these images came out perfect! They also did some 3D animation with us and were very accommodating to any feedback + timeline adjustments. My team will certainly work with XO3D again!

I'm a project manager who reached out to XO3D for a product visualization project. I was a little hesitant at first because we are located in the US and we do not often work with contractors abroad.Alex and his team were fantastic throughout the entire project. Our product being a luxury item required very specific modeling, texturing, and lighting which takes quite a lot work to get right. XO3D delivered and matched all our expectations while remaining flexible and allowing for all the "corrections" and edits to match the direction we envisioned.Based on this first project I am sure we will be working will them in the near future.

Dennis Wessels

1627996231

We recently asked XO3D to render pack shots for an upcoming product that will launch in the winter of '21. We were under severe time constraints and Alex and his team rose to the challenge and delivered the results on time and with great quality.We weren't sure what to expect from a 3D product render in comparison to product photos. The pictures that I shared as reference material was enough to get realistic looking results. There were enough planned moments to provide input and great flexibility in incorporating our feedback.All in all super happy about the quality and professional service!

Kirsten Wicks

1623747718

We've worked with Alex on multiple projects, and no matter what we ask of him, he has been great!We asked Alex to create rendered images and videos to use on our website and social media channels to showcase our new height adjustable desks and every render he has created has been excellent.He fully understood exactly what we we’re trying to achieve and just ‘got it’. He’s been great to work with, very responsive and communicative and we’re so happy with the final renders- they look great online!

Roksana Hughes

Paul Bakare

I contacted Alex and the team at XO3D regarding a project I am working on. I am pleased to say that they were very professional, efficient and receptive to the alterations required. They have provided high quality lifestyle renderings in a short space of time. The renders are displaying the exact vision for the product. Great work, keep it up!

Shaina Warner

Recently worked with Alex and Tom on a render of an obscure technical setup for a windshield glass inspection. The goal was to provide a visual to use in our marketing materials so our audiences could easily understand the inspection setup and application. Tom and Alex were responsive and accommodating of iterative changes to get the image looking accurate to our team's specifications. I was even able to jump on a web call with Tom at one point to walk through some live design changes. It was good to work with such an adaptive team who was willing to see the design through to our ultimate goal.

Jordan Edwards

1619701729

Tom and the team were fantastic. We wanted some creative 3D for our van signage. The work is bold, powerful and has already started generating new enquiries. They explained how the CGI images could boost our business and were clear and direct from the start. Would recommend exploring their options to anyone.

Paul Scott

1618836923

This was first time at looking to create 3D product rendering images for my ecommerce website and XO3D delivered exceptional work! The team was very responsive right from the beginning of my inquiry through the modelling process and generation of final images. The quality of work is astounding, they maintained a very clear line of communication and their ability to capture the finer details with such precision and bring it to life is very impressive! And I say this considering I am a very detailed oriented person. I highly recommend XO3D and will be utilizing their services for all my future work!

Edward Sandford

Such a big help, no ask is too big and the quality of the renders are just unreal, especially for something as complex as lacy underwear. Cannot recommend enough and massive thank you to Alex and Tom!

Dennis Weeks

I approached XO3D about some renders to example our building projects and give potential clients the visual that so many people need to see the potential in refurbishments and renovations. He instantly knew what I was looking for and produced some amazing work that I now use to great benefit time and time again. Thank you to all the team would not hesitate in recommending

XO3D have worked on a couple different projects for us (a property development company) and my colleagues and I have been extremely impressed and happy with their work. Throughout the creation process, Alex Mann at XO3D was extremely responsive and adaptable to ensure our design needs were met.

We used XO3D to create an animation for our website homepage. When you land on our site you get an instant idea of what we do. I would have no hesitation in recommending XO3D. The team where incredible professional and had excellent communication skills throughout the project.

Vinasan Panchali

1579531760

Used X03D for some of some rendering for my website and must say they were excellent. Couldn't ask for better service! They provided me the images before the deadline as well as ensured they were of the highest standard. The communication was absolutely brilliant. They guided me to make the right decisions with some of the images as some of my personal opinions weren't the best and it was great to be steered the correct way by them. Definetly will recommend and use again.

Ross Brown

1579453647

A friend of mine who has worked with Thomas Howcroft previously recommended him to me and what a great choice I made. I was struggling to find the right graphic designers to help me creat something unique and high end. Tom was amazing. His ideas and creative imagination was 10/10. His attention to detail helped me creat something outstanding. I can not fault his service and always kept me in the loop. I will definitely be using him again and recommending him to my clients. Thank you Tom for a great service and the work you have done for me.Shakir
