3D PRODUCT STUDIO · SUNSHINE COAST, AUSTRALIA
Already have 3D or CAD files? We make them work. Show buyers how your product moves, prove it fits their room, and put the same model on your website, Google Shopping and Shopify.
THE INTERACTIVE SHOWROOM
For makers, manufacturers
and the agencies behind them.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Each has its own buyers and its own questions. Pick yours to see what we make for it.
Every position of a moving piece, with live sizes and “Will it fit?” in the buyer’s own room.
See the sample package
Packed for towing and fully set up, with the camp footprint, options and AR in the buyer’s driveway.
Caravans and campers
Open the roof to the sky or close it against the rain, with the shade it throws, live sizes and AR in the buyer’s backyard. An IFC for the architect too.

Six missing models for your next presentation: the real products from your scheme, true to size, ready for SketchUp, Archicad or Revit.

IFC objects for Revit and Archicad, with the room your product needs when it moves marked as a keep-clear zone, so your product gets specified.

Custom boards shaped, coloured and sized online in 3D, with the specs your shaper needs. And they can be ridden too, in our surf game.
Try the board configuratorWHAT YOUR MODEL CAN DO
You already have the model. We turn it into answers to the questions buyers ask before they pay. No 3D yet? We build it in Blender from your drawings, photos or the product itself.
Buyers watch the sofa become a bed, the doors open and the table extend, with the dimensions updating as it moves.
Show the floor area it takes now and fully open, then let buyers place it at true size in their room on their phone.
Your website, Google Shopping 3D and AR, Shopify product media and your retailers, all from the same checked file. You own it, and we take nothing from your sales.
Customers choose the size and options; you get a price and a parts list from the same model. Working today for surfboards; furniture is in pilot.
The extending table and the Bronze Whaler longboard are independent reference studies of other makers’ products, created from photographs and published dimensions. The sofa bed, camper trailer, shaper boards and sculptural coffee table are original Tidalform concepts. These are independent studies, not client commissions, manufacturer endorsements or manufacturing specifications.
BUILT FOR THE NEXT STEP
We agree where the product needs to appear before we start. The output is prepared and checked for that destination.
See a sample packageShape and detail reviewed with you. Scope, accuracy and supported formats agreed up front.
Product views and approved finishes, ready for the channels in your brief.
When useful for your product, with website integration scoped alongside your web team.
Organised files, usage notes and agreed rights. Future products can follow the same production process.
A SMALL, CLEAR START
Start with one product and one useful outcome. Build the wider range once the first asset earns its place.
GLB, FBX, OBJ or STEP, or exports from SketchUp, Rhino and most CAD tools. No 3D yet? We build it in Blender from drawings, photos or the product; local access can be arranged on the Sunshine Coast.
Choose the views, formats and destination. We confirm the source material, review points, price and delivery scope before production.
You check the shape, materials, the mechanism and the dimensions in every position before anything goes live.
Receive the page, the embed code and the files for Google Shopping and Shopify. The files are yours; the setup stays ready for your next product.
LOCAL CONNECTION. PRACTICAL DELIVERY.
Tidalform is a new, independent studio being developed on the Sunshine Coast by Martin. He spent three years in interior design, working daily in Archicad and CAD Decor, so he knows how designers choose and place products in a project. Before and alongside that: software delivery, system design and business workflows.
The approach is straightforward: understand your product, agree a useful output and work through the details with you. We’re starting with a small number of first product projects.
We come to your workshop, factory or yard anywhere from Noosa to the Gold Coast, to measure, photograph and check the product in person.

LET’S FIND A GOOD FIRST PRODUCT
Tell us about one product and where you’d like customers to see it. We’ll use that to shape a clear first project.
Sometimes. It depends on the product, the available angles and the accuracy required. We assess the source material first; we won’t assume hidden details from a few pictures.
Yes, that is where we start. We take GLB, FBX, OBJ and STEP, and exports from SketchUp, Rhino and most CAD tools, and prepare them in Blender for the web: lighter files, real materials, and the moving parts set up.
You do. The model, the page files and the renders are yours to use anywhere. The studies of other makers’ products on this page are demonstrations only.
No. A flat fee per product and optional hosting; nothing per sale.
On both, the product appears at true size on the floor, with an outline of the most space it needs (the sofa as a bed, the table fully extended), so you can see at once whether it fits. On Android it can also show its movement.
Renders and animations can be used as regular media. Interactive 3D needs a compatible viewer; we agree that integration with you or your web agency.
The pilot is $159 (AUD) for one product with its working mechanism, and it is credited in full if you go ahead with the full package within 30 days. The full package (images, video, drawings and CAD files on top of the pilot) starts at $750 (AUD), and at $1,500 (AUD) for a caravan or camper; the first five makers who start by 30 November 2026 pay $399 (AUD). Product photography is an add-on from $599 (AUD). It is paid once for each product design, not per item sold. We confirm the scope and price before any work starts.
