QA Graphics Creates 3D Visualization of Car Wash System

Jan. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- QA Graphics, a Des Moines based interactive design firm, is pleased to announce the completion of a 3D graphic design project for Ryko Solutions, Inc., North America’s largest manufacturer of car wash equipment and a major provider of service and chemicals to the industry.

Ryko, headquartered in Grimes, Iowa, has been responsible for a series of firsts in the car wash industry, including the development of reliable washes and activation systems operable without attendants, the industry-standard interface with “at the pump” point of sale systems for oil companies, and many other innovative features that changed the car wash industry. To strengthen its sales presentation to potential customers, Ryko sought out QA Graphics for a creative solution that would provide better visualization of Ryko car wash systems in customers’ bays. Specifically, QA Graphics’ 3D design team created a series of photorealistic graphics that accurately showcase the company’s CleanTouch rollover vehicle car wash system.

To complete the project, Ryko provided architectural drawings and QA Graphics’ 3D designer visited a car wash location to take a series of photographs, thus ensuring the final graphics accurately portray the equipment.   The 3D graphics illustrate how the car wash station looks from the point of entry, overhead showing the CleanTouch equipment and its components, and exiting the wash.  

“Our experience working with QA Graphics was fantastic. They were very responsive to our needs and provided the high-end type of visuals that we were looking for,” said Doug Roush, marketing product manager at Ryko.  “We will use these graphics to generate additional revenue. Having such realistic visuals like these will allow us to do so.”

Helping Ryko visually demonstrate one of their product lines is just one recent example of how QA Graphics’ 3D design services have been utilized. The company provides a variety of 3D designs, animations, modeling and rendering services spanning all industries. They are able to create realistic 3D graphic representations from photos, existing graphics, schematic designs and ideas, and with a state-of-the-art rendering farm onsite, the company provides fast turnarounds on projects.  Often times, these 3D design services are components of a larger project, including Flash development services.  To learn more about QA Graphics’ 3D design capabilities, visit http://www.qagraphics.com/graphic-services/3d.
