A render breakdown of the product — wireframe, then untextured clay, then materials, then the fully lit beauty pass — each wiping across one locked frame.
What it looks like
When to use it
Tech, hardware, automotive and design-led products, where the engineering is part of the pitch. It signals precision, and it makes an ordinary object look considered.
The beat structure
Clean quad mesh on a void background, no surfaces. Untextured matte grey with ambient occlusion, form reading, still no colour. The real materials arriving with reflection and roughness under flat technical light. The fully lit final render with true colours, rim light and a soft ground shadow.
The thing to get right
The progression is strictly one-way and the product never moves between passes. It is one object being resolved in place, so a pass that shifts the silhouette has broken the conceit.
The format at a glance

- Structure — 4 beats, each one a separately planned shot.
- Family — Viral product formats, one of the eight viral product formats.
- Recipe id — cgi_breakdown, which is what you name when you ask for it by hand or from an agent.
Can the camera move during the passes?
No. It is one object being resolved in place, so the silhouette holds from wireframe to beauty pass and each pass wipes across a locked frame. A pass that shifts the shape has broken the conceit.
