Doing an outdoor lifestyle shoot in water with AI is usually a glitchy nightmare. For this client’s bag campaign, we had to lock in some insane environmental details: a model wading through a lake at dusk, realistic water splashes, and complex reflections.
On top of that, we had to maintain heavy material textures from the raw suede and leather straps of the duffel to the wet to dry transition on the pants. Normally, AI completely loses the structural integrity of a product the second you put it in a complex environment like this. But we locked the physics and lighting down perfectly.
It was a massive technical headache behind the scenes, but we handed the client a cinematic, high-fashion editorial that looks 100% effortless.
