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
Slow Rendering Times
Heavy, high-detail scenes took too long to process, limiting iteration cycles and slowing creative momentum.
Limited Overnight Throughput
The local farm couldn’t handle high volumes overnight, making it difficult to meet deadlines and maintain production pace.
Stressful project delivery
Tight deadlines combined with hardware limits created delivery pressure, especially during events like Salone del Mobile.
Manual syncing between artists
Artists had to manually coordinate rendering tasks and file sharing, increasing friction and the risk of errors.
"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 projects—we're now delivering more work, with higher quality, in less time.”

Project Manager

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 ever—with less stress and more results. That’s Helio in action. Our Q1 revenue was up 50% compared to last year—and 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.”
Thomas Tonetti
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.
