Using 3D Models for E-commerce

Online shoppers cannot physically pick up a product, so every additional visual detail can help communicate what the product actually looks like.

Interactive 3D can be particularly useful for products with interesting shapes, multiple sides or details that are difficult to communicate through a single photograph.

A generated model can also become a reusable digital asset. The same model may be useful in a product page, marketing presentation or interactive preview.

The most useful approach is usually to treat 3D as another product visualization layer rather than replacing every existing image.

MoveX3D provides a way to create the initial model without requiring a manual modeling workflow for every product.
