We tell your design's story.

At CG Crafts.Studio we produce digital campaigns, cinematic imagery and animation for architectural projects and products. Our aim is to carry your design's story to the person it was made for — accurately.

Light comes beforematerial.

01 — VISION

First we understand the project.

Not how many renders — who is this image for, and what should it say? An investor, a jury, a buyer? The shot list comes out of that answer, not out of the size of the project. Will stills be enough, or is animation needed too?

02 — BRIEF AND DIRECTION

We build the visual language together.

Atmosphere, lighting scenario, season, human story. We agree on a direction that suits the character of the project and we put it in writing. No surprises saved for the end.

03 — SCOPE AND SCHEDULE

Number of scenes, revisions, delivery date.

What is included, what is not, and what arrives on which date — all clear from the start. No budget or schedule surprises, because both go into the contract.

04 — FIRST DRAFTS

The rough scene first.

Modelling and camera angles arrive as grey renders. You approve the composition and the architectural accuracy on day one; light and material come after that.

05 — REFINEMENT

Light, material, detail

The feeling of a scene is decided in the light. Golden hour, blue hour, overcast or full night — the same geometry tells three different stories. Planting, vehicles, figures and styling settle at this stage.

06 — DELIVERY

Final delivery

Renders are produced at 4K and delivered upscaled to twice that with AI. The aspect ratio — landscape, portrait or square — is agreed at the start, based on where the image will be used.

The same geometry.Two hours of the day.

Change the lighting scenario and the project changes. Drag the handle — watch the scene turn from day to night.

What we make

D5 Render for cinematic animation, 3ds Max and Corona Renderer for stills. Or we can work image-to-video, building AI sequences on top of finished renders.

01

Interior Visualization

Every interior carries a mood before it carries furniture. We render the mood. Light, material and atmosphere are composed to say how the space will actually feel.

02

Exterior Visualization

A building makes its first impression before anyone walks through the door. We produce exteriors that feel lived in — grounded in realism, lifted by atmosphere. Aerial framing is available where it helps.

03

Product Visualization

Detail matters most when detail is all you have. Product renders and packshots — exact where they must be, evocative where they can be — composed for digital platforms.

04

Cinematic Architectural Animation

Stills show what a project looks like. Animation shows what being there feels like. We tell the project's story in cinematic sequences, with D5 Render and AI-assisted workflows.

05

AI-Assisted Campaign Content

We combine architectural and product imagery with AI-assisted workflows to produce social-ready visuals, campaign material and short-form content. Faster iteration, one consistent visual language.

Gizem Elibol — founder of CG Crafts Studio
Founder · Architect and CGI Artist

Gizem Elibol

I am an architect. I came to visualization from architecture, and that is what shapes how I work. Before I render a project I read it — what the plan is trying to solve, what the façade is saying, at which hour of the day the light describes the building most truthfully. The shot list comes out of that reading.

I founded CG Crafts Studio as Computer Generated Crafts . The goal was never to win a photorealism contest; it is to turn architectural and product ideas into images that are clear, atmospheric and emotionally sound. A good render shows what something looks like; a good image shows what being there feels like.

I put AI at the centre of my workflow — more variations, faster iteration, richer atmosphere. But the decision still belongs to a person: which light, which frame, which story.

Video production & post-production

Mohamed Zayani, founder of Zayani Studio, runs his own video production studio. When motion enters the scope we work together on post-production, editing and colour; we are also developing the AI-assisted pipeline side by side. An independent studio — alongside CG Crafts, not part of it.
