Format reuse
70%
Format reuse reflects how cheaply extra crops and sizes come once a shot exists. In CGI a re-render is near free; in photography, reformatting is mostly retouch time. Unit prices live in the right panel so you can match your own rate card.

Why CGI Scales
Colour is a swap. Once a model is built, a new colourway is a material change, not a new shoot.
Photography is linear. Every colour means another physical sample, set-up and shoot.
The crossover is early. Past a handful of colourways per product, CGI almost always wins.
