So what is a digital twin?

A digital twin is the product truth layer: a reusable, interoperable master asset that powers CGI and AI workflows and maintains quality as output scales.

  • Why it matters

    If you need more content faster and it must stay consistent, your product layer cannot be fragile. A true Digital Product Twin is built for reuse, not built and then never used again. Without this foundation to ensure quality and reuse, any automation simply amplifies inconsistency.

  • From static 3D to structured twins

    Old 3D models are single-use. A Digital Product Twin is authored with structure, materials, metadata, and version control. This enables updates and reuse across teams and channels without losing quality.

  • What makes our twins different

    Many twins fail at scale through flat lighting, weak materials, missing data, and no reuse strategy. Ours are physically accurate AAA-grade, and built on open standards, making them trusted inputs for automation and AI.

  • One truth, infinite possibilities

    Think of your twin as the operating system for product marketing. One master asset can power stills, motion, rollouts and variants across markets. Less rebuilding, and more control.

Case Study: Unilever

Scaling Twins Globally

With a vast portfolio including Dove, TRESemme, Axe, Knorr, Hellmans and Rexona, Unilever needed a product content model that could deliver personalisation, speed and scale without compromising quality. Traditional CGI workflows and siloed production were not sustainable. USD and Digital Twins brought open standards and high fidelity, enabling reuse and creative control across their content operations.

We partnered with Unilever to help transform their content ecosystem, placing USD-based Digital Product Twins at the centre: powering TV to TikTok, e-commerce and internal systems from a single asset foundation. The work went beyond the technology. It included workflow review, onboarding teams and partners, plus bespoke training and specifications to ensure strong governance.

TWINS MAKE AI
BRAND SAFE

Generative AI brings exciting creative possibilities, but it can’t guarantee the brand safety and consistency you need.
Digital twins fix that.
They give AI clean, structured, accurate inputs — high-fidelity representations of brand assets that can be used to train and fine-tune generative models. So you can prompt accurate images of your products.
Twins aren’t just operational tools. They’re strategic infrastructure — the connective tissue between product design, marketing, and AI.
They ensure that as generative content scales, it doesn’t drift off-brand — it becomes more accurate, more efficient, and more useful.

What our 3D pipelines
unlock for your brand

Quality at scale

We deliver craft and quality at scale using ultra-realistic digital twins and product visuals featuring 100% reusable CGI scenes and open-source pipelines.

Easy localisation

Each pixel-perfect digital twins act as a ‘living database’ and contains every size, label, and language variant for effortless adaptation, saving you time and money.

Live art direction

We use real-time 3D, so creative output can be art-directed in live sessions – change sets, lighting, camera moves, positioning and props instantly.

100% reusability

Every element within scenes and set-ups can be saved and reused - from camera movements, to lighting set ups, to sensorials, to backgrounds… to a drink ‘pour’.

Integration ease

We are the connective tissue - seamlessly working with other automation tools - ensuring your pipeline gives you the best of all worlds.

Accessible to all

Our pipelines are built on OpenUSD, the industry standard for 3D interoperability - twins and assets are usable by all partners and agencies – no proprietary lock in.

Digital-Twin FAQs

Ask us a question
  • What’s the difference between a digital twin and a regular 3D model?

    A digital twin isn’t just geometry, it carries materials, metadata and version control. That data layer lets you update labels, colours or markets in seconds and stay on-brand everywhere.

    (01)

  • What exactly is a digital twin in marketing?

    A photoreal 3D file that doubles as a data-hub. Ours store geometry and SKU data, so one master powers everything from packshots to high-end videos, to AR - any format your channels need.

    (02)

  • Do I need a huge budget to use digital twins?

    No. Once you have invested to create your twins, you save money every time you use it, whatever your size of business. Twin-to-asset automation scales down as easily as it scales up.

    (03)

  • Do twins actually lift sales or just look cool?

    With a site or ecommerce setting, interactive 3D boosts add-to-cart rates up to 86 % and slashes returns because shoppers can inspect every angle and finish before they buy.

    (04)

  • We already have some twins, but quality is poor - can you fix them?

    Yes. We audit, upgrade and unify existing models so they meet pixel-perfect standards and slot straight into our pipeline. No need to start from scratch.

    (05)

  • We’re already using content automation tool, how do you fit in?

    Our twins become the high-fidelity source these tools pull from, so you get better inputs and fewer retouch rounds. And we can create amendable and reusable, cinema-grade CGI / AI key visuals too in our real-time studio. We’re the engine, not a replacement.

    (06)

  • How long does it take to create (or upgrade) a twin?

    Most products are twin-ready in 2–4 weeks. Large ranges run in parallel, so you see usable assets every sprint.

    (07)

  • Who owns the twin and assets?

    You do. Every twin, render and project file is delivered with full rights for your teams, agencies and partners.

    (08)

  • Is it cheaper than a photo shoot?

    After the first twin is built, ongoing asset creation is at least 50% less than studio shoots and traditional 3D, and scales infinitely without extra fees.

    (09)

  • Can one twin power stills, video, AR and social?

    Yes. One file, infinite outputs - renders, MP4 fly-throughs, USDZ for iOS AR, even short clips for Reels - generated at pace.
