In collaboration with EPG (Expo Pavilion Group) the UNKNW team has created a series of images showing different stages of performance for the Expo 2030 show in Riyadh

For the project we combined AI and CG graphics to create images which will meet the standarts in both architectual accuracy and artistic expression

Project setting

Challenges

The building project is complete and not to be changed

Our visuals must be realistic

We work with both CG and AI

Most AI tools are bad at preserving details

CG is great for high control but it requires a lot more time

We're really short on time due to project deadlines

The brief is very floaty, we had to "catch the mood" rather than to follow instructions

Outcome

In a week three people created 24 highly detailed images

All the architectural features are preserved

Different creative solutions were suggested and best ones chosen

precision

Working with AI tools brought a major challenge — keeping every architectural detail of the original 3d model intact. Since AI tends to distort geometry and structure, we built a process to control and refine each frame, ensuring every column, surface, and proportion stayed true to the real building

The Pipeline

At the same time our pipeline was flexible enough to handle precise edits without regenerating whole images. We could adjust textures, lighting, or specific elements — like fixing the surface of a column — without losing the overall composition, making ai-based production as adaptive as traditional CG

Client Feedback

Have you ever trusted an important project to a team you had met just two weeks earlier on LinkedIn?
I can’t recall many success stories in such cases — but this was the rare match and stroke of luck I had with unknw.
Our project was about gathering a big number of 3D scenes for a huge event. From the very first call with Michael I felt they understood exactly what was needed. The team was sharp, fast, and easy to work with — and the final result went beyond what I imagined.
I’ve worked with many teams, but unknw stands out as a truly professional crew with a unique cost/effectiveness ratio. For a reasonable budget, you get the kind of top quality and speed you usually only find at world-class design agencies.
