ERGØN & WØLF is a cutting-edge architectural visualization and design studio with offices in Athens and Madrid. Specializing in high-end imagery, the studio produces hundreds of high-resolution images per month, pushing creative and technical boundaries to deliver stunning visual experiences.
However, before adopting Helio, they faced major workflow inefficiencies, including:
🚨 Slow Renders & Frequent Crashes – Large projects took 2-3 days to render, leading to bottlenecks and deadline pressure.
🚨 Blocked Workstations – Artists couldn't use their PCs while rendering, reducing overall productivity.
🚨 Last-Minute Quality Control Risks – Final high-res renders could only be checked at the end, creating anxiety over whether the results would meet expectations.
🚨 Inefficient Workflows – Team members had to manually distribute workloads, leading to delays and inconsistent output.
🚨 External Render Farm Issues – Previous cloud solutions were impersonal, required manual uploads, and didn’t integrate smoothly into daily operations.

“With Helio, we no longer lose sleep over failed renders. Our workflow is seamless, and we can focus on creating—not waiting.” – Margarita Varla, Co-founder & Creative Director

ERGØN & WØLF turned to Helio to modernize their rendering process. The transition was implemented in two phases:
✅ Phase 1: Supplementary Capacity – Initially, Helio was used to handle overflow rendering, freeing up workstations and reducing pressure on internal machines.
✅ Phase 2: Full Cloud Transition – With Pulze Scene Manager integration, the team fully transitioned to Helio, making rendering a seamless and automated process.
With Helio, rendering no longer interrupted artists' workflows. Instead of waiting for renders to finish, team members could continue working on new projects while their high-resolution images processed in the background.
