How to create a project brief

Creating a brief for your CG project is simple with our streamlined process. Our platform makes it easy to share your vision and collaborate with our team in real time.

Your project’s cover page serves as its home base, featuring three key elements:

1. Cover Image – Upload directly from your drive or the internet, with an easy replace function if needed
2. Description – Share your project vision in detail
3. Essential Links (top right corner):
   • Files – Your project’s resource hub for photos, videos, PDFs, and more
   • Revisions – A dedicated space for requesting changes
   • Renderings – Where your finished pieces will be stored

If we’re creating 3D models of your products:

1. Create separate folders for different products
2. Include multiple reference images showing products from different angles
3. Add videos of products when available to help us understand complex details

Add as many pages as needed by clicking the plus icon in the top left:

1. Click “Apply Layout” and choose a format (we recommend the three-column layout)
2. Give each brief page a clear, simple name (e.g., “Image 1” or “Animation”)
3. Each page includes a revision link at the top left corner for tracking updates

Three-column layout (our recommended format)

1. Left Column – Product details and specifications
2. Center Column – Your inspiration space/mood board:
   • Pull images from Google, Pinterest, or other sources
   • Combine multiple references to show different aspects you like
   • Create collages of styles, lighting, compositions, or effects
3. Right Column – Detailed descriptions and requirements

Alternative layouts

• One Column – For straightforward briefs
• Two Columns – When pairing an image with its description
• Blank Page – Useful as section dividers in larger projects

Once your brief is completed, we’ll activate the revision link, which includes:

1. A direct link back to your brief
2. Numbered revisions to track changes
3. An approval button (revealed once the final version is ready)

Our intuitive tools make it easy to request revisions:

1. Draw arrows directly on images to highlight specific areas
2. Add text annotations to explain desired changes
3. Copy and paste reference images to illustrate your points
4. Upload videos via:
   • Direct YouTube links
   • Files uploaded to your project’s file section

When everything looks perfect:

1. Right-click and leave a comment with “approved”
2. Tag a Welpix team member using “@”
3. A green approval button will appear

Consider using Loom to communicate your vision more effectively:

1. Create a free account at loom.com
2. Install the Chrome extension
3. Record your screen while explaining your references
4. Share the link in your brief

The history function on the cover page:

1. Tracks every change made to your project
2. Serves as your project’s timeline
3. Allows you to reference past decisions

For seamless collaboration:

1. Bookmark your project for easy access
2. Find your projects in our CRM
3. Explore files in Grid or List View
4. Link materials directly to your briefs
