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
Project Manager
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.”

Area Manager

100 high-res images took 4–5 days
Sequential only
Multiple teams rendering simultaneously
Solid but limited
Significantly improved throughput
Frequent last-minute stress
Smoother, more reliable delivery
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 output and speed without compromising quality
Deliver one of the most challenging Salone del Mobile editions in 20 years
Operate with less stress, more structure, and a relaxed team throughout peak production
“Helio helped us turn a high-pressure project into our most productive Salone so far! We spent less time managing renders and delivered more, faster.”
Thomas Tonetti
Project Manager
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.
“From an IT point of view, having Helio handle the rendering externally has been a game changer. As an IT Manager, I no longer have to deal with license distribution, hardware issues, or maintaining the local farm. It’s taken a huge load off our shoulders and lets the whole team stay focused on what really matters: the creative work.”
Mattia Almacolle
IT Manager
Looking Ahead
With one of the busiest Salone del Mobile editions in 20 years behind them, Nudesign is confident in its pipeline and future scalability. The team has significantly increased output, improved internal flow, and is now taking on larger, more diverse projects, including animations, food and beverage campaigns, and more.
Going forward, Nudesign and Helio plan to further optimize their rendering workflows, continuing to push creative boundaries without technical constraints.
