Crystal Palace Lite
Making transparency visible.

Client: ZAGG • Role: Senior 3D Designer • 3D visualization, art direction, compositing

THE BRIEF
Turn a technically accurate clear-case render into campaign imagery where refraction, edge detail, buttons, and camera protection read instantly—without changing the product design.

THE APPROACH
I reviewed eleven native 4K KeyShot viewpoints and preserved the original RGBA product layers. A midnight-blue glass environment with a cyan-to-violet halo reveals the clear material; ComfyUI and RealESRGAN were used only to resolve the empty background plate before the untouched 4K product pixels were composited back in.

CGI integrity.
AI-assisted environment.

The final campaign set gives the transparent case stronger separation, hierarchy, and perceived production value while preserving the original geometry, embossed details, proportions, and material pixels. No generative model redrew the product.
