Without going into details... A lot of my products are a big pain in the butt to be photographed. I was looking at some 3D renderings the other day. Some of these 3D apps are getting incredibly good at producing lifelike images. I was thinking of starting to design my stuff in 3D anyway. So then I thought... Well, what if I just used those images as the product images. One potential problem... Is that unethical. I guess you could get around that by just putting up a disclaimer. But.. How much of a ding would that put in a potential customer's confidence about that product? My thinking was that I could also just have a random gallery of our products, to show off the quality overall... That could possibly negate the possibility of people being nervous about not seeing an actual photo. These are not items that are purchased for their looks btw... They're mechanical/functional more than anything. But still... Obviously quality can be determined by looking at something. Overall, my gut tells me it's best to have an actual photo. Especially since I think that has really helped me, as I notice most other people who sell what I sell have terrible little photos. Mine are big and well done. But still... Not having to go through the hassle is very tempting.
