Nick Hiatt - Customer Case Study

Nick Hiatt is a veteran concept and production artist who runs a VFX company serving film, TV and games. Facing fast, stressful production deadlines and the need to quickly iterate and present high-quality concept sculpts, he needed a workflow that combined speed with cinematic polish.

Hiatt combines ZBrush for rapid sculpting with KeyShot mid-process to visualize materials, generate quick renders and create KeyShotVR turntables, then composites passes in Photoshop. This pipeline lets him produce professional-looking concept art and client presentations in minutes, speeding iteration and reliably meeting demanding production schedules.
