Real meets Virtual
Nothing stays the same, including in the production of images: virtual photography has opened up completely new possibilities – particularly in combination with classic photography. For the project URBAN LOFT, we worked together with Bernd Opitz, one of the best lifestyle photographers in Germany, to create an impressive photo series. It shows that virtual photography offers new creative opportunities, complements classic photography, and can also be a high-quality alternative. To carry out the project, a unique location was planned and styled with great attention to detail. Real photos of people were combined with a virtual setting to create a coherent whole.

What’s next in fashion
The clothing industry is experiencing a revolution. Virtual prototyping and virtual content are becoming the new industry standard. Throughout the entire development cycle, from creation to distribution to e-commerce marketing, brand-name manufacturers can utilise the realistic simulation and visualisation of clothing . In cooperation with Smartview 360, the innovative provider of digital marketing tools, we cover the whole process: from CAD section drawings through to high-end images in full CGI with virtual avatar. Virtual is alluring.
Spectral
We entertain you
Spectral is the leading smart furniture brand with the clear mission of integrating the digital world in attractive living environments. It focuses on premium, punch-packing TV and entertainment furniture. We’ve created new image material for the Ameno, Cocoon, Brick and Scala product series in connection with the brand relaunch. Naturally they’re all in full CGI and feature specially developed virtual living environments to effectively proposition the right target audiences and to differentiate between the series. Four authentic environments were developed as the basis for a comprehensive virtual photo shoot.
interlübke
Better sleeping
A bed is just a bed, isn’t it? Not izzy, the innovative bed system by interlübke. It raises the benchmark by being compatible with all commercially available inset base systems, providing extra storage space and offering accessories such as background lighting, cable management, upholstered head and footboards, plus a choice of bedsides and tables. izzy by interlübke combines innovative versatility with timeless design. All image content is virtual. Four main motifs exclusively showcase the bed system’s individualisation options.
interlübke
The product as the brand essence
How do you differentiate between brands in the interior segment that are all similar in terms of look and claim? We took an inductive approach and developed our brand values on the basis of our products. We did that by showcasing the fine details of the Jorel sideboard system in a series of images that unite style and function – understated yet distinctive. A harmonious composition of colours and shapes that position the interlübke brand as a premium supplier of innovative furniture systems.

Space for new images
Quality can only result from passionately grasping new opportunities. To stand at the forefront of virtual photography, we have developed our own workshop programme. Our goal is to break through the boundaries of 3D visualisation and photography. All in order to achieve more emotion and more diversity in communication. To reach this goal, we work together with renowned photographers: knowledge of producing real photo shoots is combined with the possibilities of virtual ones.
Textiles & Carpets
Digital Materials
Making textiles photographically feelable has never been an easy matter. Today we take advantage of the capabilities of virtual photography, which digitally models fabric and inspires the observer in all nuances of light, shadow and depth of definition. In this field, every project is a challenge, which means we have gathered wide-ranging expertise in presenting and simulating fabrics and carpets. Whether for fashion or interior design – today we have solutions for every range of products and we work together constantly with hardware and software developers in order to create new possibilities that set standards.
interlübke
The world of Jorel
Jorel is the new range of solitary furniture elements in the interlübke product family. It unites pure and authentic materials with a clear design statement and many different design options, including lacquer, glass, aluminium and stainless steel. The result is an aesthetic and appealing ensemble that perfectly matches the purchaser’s individual style. Five interior design concept visuals were designed to demonstrate interior design options that can be achieved with Jorel. The sideboard is presented in different colour codes to demonstrate its diversity and individuality.

EMSA
Aroma Diamond

For the launch of this EMSA technology, we have animated a spot that emotionalises the coffee itself. The film is an eye catcher due to the aesthetics of the picture, you can literally smell the coffee in the three-dimensional - virtual - space. In addition, the sensual music captivates. Large images that also look impressive on mobile online screens.
ABB

The specially composed music extends the ambience acoustically with elegant lightness.

Visibly Melodious

sooii moves

We look forward to keeping you up to date.
sooii
sooii is the leading provider for virtual photography / CGI in the field of architecture, interior and design in Germany and member of the vistapark group with headquarters in Wuppertal and Cologne.
Since its foundation in 2016, sooii has developed into the leading provider in the segment in a very short period of time through clear positioning and investment in the development and networking of brand manufacturers. In addition to the realization of high-quality 3D image content / CGI (Computer Generated Images), one focus is the consulting of premium manufacturers, suppliers and agencies in order to holistically evaluate and implement the digital change in content production in partnership.
The demand for high-quality digital image technology and related consulting in the fields of architecture and design is currently growing enormously. CGI offers decisive advantages, especially in the context of contemporary presentation and sales formats: Furniture, for example, no longer needs to be photographed in all colour and material variations and different architectural settings, but can be adapted and adapted on the computer. This leads to considerable time and cost savings.
sooii lookbook 02
We have been working towards this for a long time and are proud that it is now ready. The new lookbook of sooii. Actually it should be only a follow-up edition of our first book, but in the end we couldn't decide to document only a small part of our work.
In the last two years we have realized many interesting projects for well-known customers and have done tons of tests to push the limits of visualization. Therefore the lookbook with its 200 pages more has become a documentation for what is possible today and what we are able to realize tomorrow. To inspire and create a basis for discussion.
Because one thing is certain - no matter how virtual it becomes, we make it real
sooii lookbook 03
After issue 02 was out faster than expected, we took the chance for a new edition and just in time for the start of the year, issue 03 is fresh from the press. Updated with many new projects from 2019 and with views of the topics that will concern us and our customers in the future.
The Lookbook 03 is our pride and joy because it documents a very successful year for us and without a doubt our position in the market.
