A 3D model without good lighting looks like it is floating above the page. Vulp lights every product with environment lighting and automatically adds a shadow beneath it, so the product stands on its surface rather than in front of it.

Contact shadows and ambient occlusion

Where the product meets the floor and where its parts touch, Vulp adds soft shadows and ambient occlusion. That gives depth to seams, cushions and edges, and lets the product sit naturally in its scene. There is nothing to set up.

Shadows to taste

Shadow too strong, or too subtle? Adjust it in the Vulp dashboard, or with the shadow-intensity and shadow-softness parameters in the embed code. They apply in the browser and in augmented reality.

Colours you can trust

Vulp uses tone mapping to the PBR Neutral standard, tuned for e-commerce. Colours and reflections stay as close as possible to the real product, instead of the oversaturated or washed-out tones 3D rendering often produces.

An environment of its own

With a skydome (skybox=1) the product stands in a realistic space, such as a living room or showroom, instead of on a plain background. On the Enterprise plan the lighting itself can be adjusted too, to set the right mood and bring out texture and finish.

Frequently asked questions

Does Vulp add realistic shadows to my 3D products?

Yes, Vulp automatically adds contact shadows and ambient occlusion, so products sit naturally in their surroundings with believable depth and detail, rather than looking like they're floating on the page.

Can I adjust the lighting and environment of my 3D product?

Yes, you can change the lighting of your 3D product to set the right mood and highlight specific details, and combine it with realistic environment shadowing so the product looks natural in any setting.
