Our animation process
Engaging visual stories that communicate your vision powerfully and clearly:
Realism & Detail: Expertly crafted animations showcasing photorealistic environments
Structured Process: Clear, efficient steps ensuring quality and consistency
Collaborative Approach: Continuous client engagement and feedback integration
Flexible Delivery: Customized solutions tailored specifically to your project's unique requirements
1. Initial Consultation
We start with a detailed discussion about your project’s goals, style preferences, and key features. This foundational step ensures alignment with your vision and sets clear expectations regarding scope and timelines.
2. Reference Material Collection
We gather comprehensive architectural drawings, existing 3D models, sketches, inspirational imagery, material specifications, and any relevant context information. Thorough preparation streamlines production, ensuring accuracy and reducing revision cycles.
3. Storyboarding
Our artists create a storyboard outlining the animation's narrative, including key scenes and camera angles. This step clarifies how the viewer will experience your design, ensuring a coherent and compelling visual flow before detailed production begins.
4. Detailed 3D Modeling
We meticulously construct your project digitally, accurately representing structural elements, interiors, and architectural details using industry-leading modeling techniques. Existing CAD/BIM data can be seamlessly integrated, ensuring consistency and precision.
5. Texturing & Material Application
Realistic materials and textures are applied to every surface, accurately reflecting your design specifications. We ensure finishes such as wood, glass, concrete, metals, and fabrics behave realistically, significantly enhancing the animation’s visual authenticity.
6. Lighting Design & Setup
We configure lighting to mimic real-world illumination, carefully adjusting intensity, color, and angles to achieve realistic daylighting, artificial lighting, shadows, and reflections, enhancing the overall realism and aesthetic appeal of the animation.
7. Camera Choreography & Animation
We carefully design camera paths and movements, ensuring smooth transitions and engaging visuals. From exterior fly-throughs to detailed interior walkthroughs, each camera sequence is crafted intentionally to highlight key architectural features clearly and comfortably.
8. High-Resolution Rendering
Using powerful rendering technology, we transform the 3D environment into vivid, photorealistic frames. Initial low-resolution renders verify scene accuracy before committing to high-definition (HD or 4K) final frames, ensuring stunning visual quality.
9. Post-Production Enhancement
The rendered sequences undergo professional editing, incorporating music, voice-over, sound effects, color grading, and visual enhancements like subtle special effects or titles. This stage polishes the animation, ensuring a cinematic, engaging presentation.
10. Client Review & Iterations
We share interim previews and drafts, inviting your feedback to refine camera angles, materials, lighting, or other elements. This collaborative review process ensures your final animation precisely reflects your vision and expectations.
11. Final Animation Delivery
Once approved, the final animation is delivered in your preferred high-resolution formats suitable for presentations, marketing, and stakeholder meetings. Quality assurance checks guarantee smooth playback and accurate representation of all project details.
We offer transparent, competitive pricing tailored to your project:
Standard Quality Animations: Starting at $6,000+ for a ~60-second animation—ideal for clear, professional visual presentations.
High-End Cinematic Animations: Typically range from $6,000 to $18,000+ for multi-minute animations, featuring ultra-realistic visuals, sophisticated lighting, detailed textures, and refined cinematography, perfect for high-impact marketing presentations.
