Overview

Nudesign is a premier visualization studio working across Europe, known for producing high-end architectural and product visuals. From detailed interior shots to immersive brand storytelling, their work demands precision, speed, and scale.
As demand grew—especially during high-pressure events like Salone del Mobile—Nudesign’s local render farm became a bottleneck. Despite a growing team, the studio was limited by hardware capacity, scene complexity, and slow overnight output.

Challenges

Heavy, high-detail scenes

Were time-consuming to render, reducing iteration cycles.

Limited overnight throughput

Made it difficult to meet volume demands.

Stressful project delivery

Especially under tight deadlines.

Manual syncing between artists

Slowing collaboration and increasing friction.

"Before Helio, we could never have produced 100 images overnight. Now we can hit that number, and still have other things going on in parallel."

Thomas Tonetti

Creative Director

Transition to Helio

Looking to unlock scale and free themselves from local constraints, Nudesign integrated Helio into their rendering workflow, beginning with still image production.

Massive overnight capacity

Able to render 100+ high-resolution images across multiple projects in a single night.

Faster iteration cycles

Artists can render more frequently, enabling better creative decisions.

Stress-free delivery

Deadlines are easier to manage with reliable, scalable cloud compute.

Support for heavy scenes

No need to simplify models or cut corners for performance.

Helio changed how we organize projectswe're now delivering more work, with higher quality, in less time.

Conclusion & Future Outlook

Partnering with Helio transformed not just how Nudesign renders, but how they operate as a studio.
Thanks to scalable overnight rendering, seamless integration, and dependable support, Nudesign was able to:

  • Increase Q1 revenue by 50% compared to the previous year

  • Deliver their most productive Salone del Mobile in 20 years

  • Operate with less stress, more structure, and a relaxed team throughout peak production

This was our most productive Salone everwith less stress and more results. Thats Helio in action. Our Q1 revenue was up 50% compared to last yearand Helio played a big role in making that possible.

Thomas Tonetti

Creative Director

While output soared—with 100+ images rendered overnight across multiple scenes—the team felt more in control than ever. Artists were able to iterate confidently, delivery pressure was eased, and the entire operation felt more predictable and less reactive.

We were so structured. We worked weekends but had no stress. We never had that before.

Creative Director

Looking Ahead

With the busiest Salone in 20 years behind them, Nudesign is confident in its pipeline and future scalability. They’ve doubled their output, improved team flow, and are increasingly handling larger, more diverse projects—including animations, food & beverage campaigns, and more.
Going forward, Nudesign and Helio plan to further optimize rendering workflows, continuing to push boundaries without technical constraints.
