What exactly do you need from us to start?

A technical drawing and a few reference photos. No physical sample has to be shipped and no 3D file is required.

Can 3D really replace product photography for a catalogue?

For manufactured products, yes. Angles, lighting and white balance are set once and reused, so a hundred products end up looking like one line — something a photo shoot cannot repeat months later.

How many products can you deliver per month?

Thirty or more finished products per month, a pace held for eighteen months on a catalogue of over 600 models.

What happens when a finish or colour changes?

The existing model is reused. A new finish is a variation, not a new shoot, so it costs a fraction of the first render.

How is the work priced?

Fixed per product, agreed per batch. Never hourly.

Where is the studio and who does the work?

Studio Cauldron is based in Zagreb, Croatia and works remotely across Europe. Every project runs through founder Domagoj Sirovica directly.

The Concept Ninety seconds, five disciplines, no narration. The cut moves from product to environment to character and back, because that is how the studio actually works — the same pipeline builds a tap, a room and a creature. Different subject, the same craft underneath. So the reel is not organised by client or by year. It is organised by what each shot proves. Every frame in here was made to explain something: a product, a brand, a character. None of it is decoration, and that is why it is short. The Process Every shot goes through the same four passes: blockout, light,...

Zeljko, the Garden Spirit

The Concept Zeljko is a small guardian of the garden — a spirit grown from a cabbage, with a twig staff and a crown of leaves. The goal was simple: build an original character with enough personality to carry animated shorts, mascot work and brand storytelling on his own. Nobody briefed him. He started as a doodle and survived because he passed the only test that matters for a character: you can tell what he wants before he moves. Everything after that was execution. The Lore Zeljko is a Zelyak — a garden spirit no bigger than a child’s hand, born from a seed that waited...
