We believe the world is a better place with more creators in it. That’s why we’re now making the power of real-time 3D accessible to marketing professionals with Unity Forma. It empowers these creators to produce interactive 3D product configurators and digital media from 3D product data in record time and without any coding skills.

Marketing is one of the most compelling applications of real-time 3D. We’ve seen this technology used for groundbreaking mixed reality experiences, pushing the limits of photorealism, immersive product storytelling, product configurators, and much more.

Real-time 3D offers the best of both worlds. It supports advanced media formats –  interactive 3D, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality – that connect and engage consumers in a highly impactful, emotional, and interactive way, ultimately helping drive results like greater engagement and higher sell-through. It also supports marketers’ needs for traditional media like images and videos, while providing significant speed and cost advantages over common approaches like offline rendering, photoshoots, and productions.

For these reasons and more, brands have been eager to embrace real-time 3D in their production pipelines, particularly those who need to work with complex 3D product data to market high-value items that come in multiple variations like cars, aircraft, appliances, furniture, and luxury goods.

The need for real-time 3D-powered marketing pipelines

Typically, brands use a combination of in-house and agency resources to deliver digital marketing content. With an ever-increasing number of marketing channels demanding content, companies are finding that their marketing pipelines are becoming fragmented and inefficient. This inefficiency is often outsourced to agencies, but it is real nonetheless. 

The effort required to maintain product correctness and deliver fresh content to web, social, mobile apps, and other channels drives up costs and consumes efforts that could be put to better use. As one example, few companies have the ability to deliver personalized marketing content or deliver more deeply interactive experiences to engage consumers more thoroughly.

Unity Forma is here to offer a new, better way to bring real-time 3D to your marketing.

Volkswagen: How an industry leader powers its marketing with real-time 3D

In case you missed it, we debuted Unity Forma at a virtual event hosted by Unity’s chief marketing officer Clive Downie and featuring special guests from Volkswagen, including its head of global digital marketing, Candido Peterlini.

Volkswagen is one of the early pioneers to use Unity in the automotive industry. The company leverages real-time 3D across its business, from R&D to marketing. It has turned to Unity to deliver a range of marketing experiences, from rendering millions of images in real-time for its website car configurators globally to creating mobile apps showcasing its vehicles in AR. Unity Forma will help take its efforts to the next level.

To highlight what is achievable with Unity Forma, Volkswagen collaborated with Katana Studio and Unity to produce a new campaign video for the 2020 Volkswagen ID.4 EV, the automaker’s first fully-electric SUV. The teams used Unity Forma along with the Unity Editor to create a virtual production leveraging the ID.4’s manufacturing data and author a 45-second spot. The advertisement fuses together rendered car interiors, exteriors, and environments with shot patterns and angles that would have been impossible to achieve using a live camera production.
