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.

Fero-Term — DOOH Campaign Video

Written by Domagoj on July 30, 2026. Posted in 3D Production, Animation. No Comments on Fero-Term — DOOH Campaign Video

The Concept The format was fixed and unusual: 1024×480 pixels, roughly twice as wide as it is tall, no sound, and a few seconds of attention from someone walking past a screen. Fero-Term had interior visuals and a product list, not a film. A DOOH screen is not a website: nobody scrolls back, nobody unmutes, nobody waits for the payoff. Whatever the picture says, it says in the first second or not at all. So instead of cutting between product shots, we treated the screen as a window into one room. A single continuous camera move through a lit interior, with the products placed...

TPM — 3D Animation & Visualisation

Written by Domagoj on July 28, 2026. Posted in Animation, 3D Production. No Comments on TPM — 3D Animation & Visualisation

The Concept TPM Research sells patient-mobility equipment to hospitals and care facilities. The problem with that product is simple to state and hard to solve: its value is in the mechanism. A chair that lifts a patient’s legs, turns, and takes the strain off a nurse’s back looks, in a photograph, like a chair. So the brief was never “make nice images”. It was: let a buyer understand in seconds what this equipment does, without standing next to it. That meant rebuilding the product in 3D and putting it in the rooms where it is actually used — a waiting room, a patient room, a hallway...

Zeljko, the Garden Spirit

Written by Domagoj on July 28, 2026. Posted in 3D Production, Animation, Cauldron Originals. No Comments on 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...
