3D Library
At the heart of the system was an expansive library of original 3D objects — designed, modeled, and rendered to work interchangeably across every narrative and every partner. 50+ assets across six major categories.

Data & Feed Management
The campaign was powered by a Spackle API integration — a Google Sheet-based feed management system where a single row maps to a single asset at a single size. Anyone on the team could control which items, retailer targets, and configurations went into production, with no engineering required.
Google Sheet → Asset Pipeline — Data strings connect directly to design elements: item names, retailer targets, sizes, and configurations.
1 Row = 1x Asset @ 1x Size — A clean, scalable output model that made bulk production practical.
