The Challenge: Inefficient 3D Workflows Across Teams
BMW needed to modernize its 3D asset pipeline to meet the growing demands of real-time product visualization, immersive experiences, and multi-department collaboration. But managing thousands of 3D models across global teams led to:
-
Workflow delays from manual version control
- Difficulty sharing 3D models between departments
- Asset duplication and costly rework
- Inefficient file storage and delivery infrastructure
