When you slide on a set of headphones or feel the vibrations pounding your eardrums through a set of quality ear buds, the details that came together to produce it may not be so obvious. Skullcandy is the designer and manufacturer of headphones, ear buds and head sets for the audiophile with a wide range of sound deploying products specific to your lifestyle or passion. Delivering quality sounds needs to be conveyed in quality visuals; visuals that communicate the attention to detail and the technology that goes into the design of each product. You’ll see this throughout their website, packaging and marketing material and in all of this, they use KeyShot to generate the imagery, animations and interactive visuals. We caught up with Industrial Designer, Dave Vogt, to get an inside look at KeyShot in action…
How Skullcandy Uses KeyShot
KeyShot has been an critical part of delivering their products. “As a designer, there is nothing more valuable than being able to quickly and clearly visualize an idea to the team. KeyShot is a integral part of our design process, helping us create killer visuals and motion assets in minimal time. With new features like LiveLinking and Model Sets, our process is continually being streamlined. KeyShot also allowed us to bring a lot of previously outsourced render related expenses in house. This not only saved us a boat load of cash, but reduced what use to be a 2-3 week timeline to 2-3 days. It is a truly efficient process integration.”
