About
John Vilardi
I’m a 3D visualization artist and licensed inventor with more than two decades of experience turning ideas into clear, professional product visuals.
I began my training at the Hendrix Institute in Long Island, NY, where I built a strong foundation in Graphics Communications using Lightwave 3D, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. I later advanced my skills under Robert Burden, owner of Inky Dinky Animation Studio, completing a two‑year Maya program focused on high‑level 3D modeling and animation.
3D Visions Since 2001, I’ve created thousands of 3D product visions for inventors and entrepreneurs. My focus is simple: clean, professional visuals that make a product instantly understandable and impossible to ignore. I’ve helped countless inventors bring their ideas to life — and as a licensed inventor myself, with products featured on QVC — I know exactly what companies look for and what a submission needs to stand out.
Clients I've worked with
Sol Negrin ... Billy Tucci
I’ve worked with industry professionals including cinematographer Sol Negrin (Superman, Jaws 2, Coming to America, Robocop, Kojack) and comic creator Billy Tucci, whose series Shi has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.
Interviews
My work and inventions have been featured in multiple industry articles and interviews covering product development, 3D modeling, and the invention process. These pieces highlight my approach to creating clear, professional product visuals and my experience as a licensed inventor.

Anyone can have an idea.
But those who work to put meat on the bones and put flesh on their ideas are the ones who can claim the mantle of invention..
