Use case

3D reveals for Kickstarter stories

Use a model-based reveal as one visual moment in a project story, without inventing campaign results, backers, or customer proof.

A completed cloth reveal made with the Drapery Reveal browser workflow.

A reveal built for the moment

A project creator may have a product model well before every photography or production asset is ready. A short reveal can introduce the form while the surrounding page explains the problem, progress, and plan.

How the workflow supports this use case

Use the most current model, choose a view that communicates the concept honestly, and keep the cloth motion short enough that it supports rather than delays the project explanation.

  • Start with a supported 3D model rather than rebuilding the product as a video asset.
  • Use cloth direction, lighting, camera, and timing to create one clear visual beat.
  • Export the finished reveal in a layout suited to the place where it will be presented.

The useful outcome

The recording can be placed in a project page, update, pitch, or social preview alongside factual copy and the disclosures appropriate to the project’s stage.

Plan for the real constraints

A rendered reveal should not imply that a prototype is manufactured, tested, or shipping when it is not. Label the asset appropriately and keep campaign claims outside the animation workflow.

  • Check materials and textures in the browser before recording.
  • Keep important details inside the safe area for the selected aspect ratio.
  • Review the exported file in the final channel before a public launch.

From model to reveal

The editor is available without an installation. You can test a sample, open your own model, and refine the scene before deciding whether to record.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Can I make more than one aspect ratio?

Yes. A completed recording can be prepared in vertical, portrait, square, landscape, or original proportions.

Do I need an account to test the scene?

No. You can open a model, drape the cloth, and preview the reveal before signing in. Recording requires an account.
