Earlier this year, Zentia launched a complex, modular ceiling product aimed at architects, specifiers and ceiling contractors. They needed a cutting-edge product configuration tool to help their customers visualise, design and configure Zentia’s products in a highly interactive, immersive and visually stunning 3D environment. Following a competitive pitch process, Zentia appointed Creative Content Works (CCW) to build a configurator with photorealistic and stylish room environments along with a tactile and user-friendly interface.

For the first release of the configurator tool, we focused on building five unique virtual environments (Hotels, Education, Healthcare, Restaurants and Commercial) for nine different canopy and baffle types so that customers could view the products within different interiors, with the ability to change ceiling styles and design aesthetics. Each room offers the option to amend the Island Size, Canopy Size, Alignment and Product Ranges to see how they would look in situ. What’s more, we were able to offer Time of Day and Virtual Walkthroughs to get a truly accurate representation of the products at different times of the day.

We chose CCW because of their full-service offering (across creative, technology and production) - and of course were blown away by the quality of their work. It really helped that they understood our product and the market we’re working in. We are very excited to create a cutting edge tool that’s leading in the market.
