3D Animation Services
Our 3D animators are capable of providing a wide range of 3D animation video services you need to grow your business:
3D Animation Advertisement
John Caples, the legend of direct-response advertising, says: “I have seen one advertisement sell not twice, not three times, but 19.5 times as much. “
We believe that 3D animation has more potential to produce such results. Because most commercial videos are either live-action or 2D animation/motion graphics.
3D Game Trailer & Cinematic
Any game, no matter how big, needs an extraordinary trailer to pop out and build up the hype for it. We are gamers by nature and know what a gamer wants to see in a trailer and we have everything it takes to deliver just the right production.
3D Animated Series
There are 4 critical points that are essential in producing a 3D animated series: stability, quality, punctuality, and resource management (time, budget, and human resources). We are all aware of these points and had the successful experience of producing long-time animation series which were airing for more than a year.
3D Animated Feature Film
This is our dream! We love producing 3D movies so much that we have made a movie trailer to showcase our ability to produce 3D movies. Let’s discuss your idea so we can make it into a reality. We can provide and execute a sturdy pipeline and CGIs so your work will be as polished as possible.
3D Explainer Video
Do you want to show how your product or service works in a simple and engaging way? 3D explainer video is your safest bet because today everyone is doing explainer videos in 2D and if you want to differentiate your work, you should consider a 3D outlet.
3D Character Animation
Smooth motion of 3D characters is a necessity for a successful animation. Our expert 3D animators will capture the true essence of your characters. We will incarnate those characters in the best way possible by using cutting-edge software and technologies.
3D Environment Animation
Immersion is an absolutely important factor to engage your audience; and nothing can help this factor as much as strong environmental animations. We provide splendid sceneries so your audience forget about reality when they are indulged in your world.
3D Props/Objects Animation
Sometimes an object proceeds in terms of recognition from a character in a game or animation. That shows the importance of props animations. We know that and try to deliver perfection in our 3D projects.

Punctuality
Time is the most valuable asset in today’s climate. We are obligated to deliver the projects on time and we will be on our word without any excuse. We always offer a tangible and realistic time-line and stick to it wholesomely.
Weaknesses
We Are Not The Biggest
With 50 artists on-demand, we can’t claim to be the biggest 3D animation studio in the world. Because of that, we accept fewer customers so we dedicate more energy and focus on each individual project and provide better services to each customer.
We Are Not The Cheapest
Though we are not expensive, we do not offer the lowest prices on the market because the main concerns of our 3D animation company is quality, punctuality, and providing best services to our customers and we are after clients who share the same values. For our quality work, we ask for very reasonable and competitive prices, but if you are looking for the lowest price tags, maybe we are not your best option.
Our 3D Animation Production Process
We follow principles of making 3D animations and the followings are the guideline for our process:
Client Requirements
Everything starts from here and depends on this matter. We first need to completely comprehend what your needs are and plan the path ahead by your criteria and factors.
1
Concept Art
A good idea forms the rest of the animation around it and it starts with the concept art which contains sketches, creating model sheets, pose sheets, facial expression sheets.
2
Script
Either you have your own script or you want us to write you a script. Even if you have your own script and idea, we will try to transform them to mitigate the budget and time. If you don’t have a script on-hand, our copywriters and scriptwriters will provide you one.
3
Storyboard and Animatic
Storyboarding is where we create a static and unmoving vision of the script. Cover the script with captions describing the story outline, including the camera staging, character pose, and event scene. We show the storyboard with simple models and first voice-overs which are called animatics to show the scene and movement with better details.
4
Rigging
During the rigging process, we put skeleton structure into the 3D character or object so our animators can move different parts of the object or character as quickly and efficiently as possible. We can deliver rigs in Maya, 3DsMax, Blender, Unreal Engine, and Unity.
5
Animating
In this stage our animators create the movements, position, rotating, and even scaling to mimic different poses and give the animation the feel of motion. We follow the 12 principles of animation through a step-by-step procedure so we can have smooth and beautiful animations.
6
VFX
VFX refers to digital effects that enhance animation, film shots or stills. Our VFX artists try to add a visual boost to your animation via special effects, particle effects, elemental simulations like smoke, fire etc.
7
Lighting
Light is the soul of a 3D scene and without it there will be no depth and volumetric aspects to your 3D animations and scenes. Like using lighting in filmmaking and photography, our 3D artists set the lighting to support the story, convey the mood of a shot, and visually depict the location, time of day, and even the weather convincingly.
8
Rendering
In this part, each scene is rendered separately into layers, including background, colors, foreground, ambient occlusion, highlights, shadow, objects etc, to give a 3D look. By taking advantage of engines like Redshift, V-ray, Arnold and Unreal we try to achieve the best outcome.
9
Post-Production
In the 3D animation pipeline, post-production is the last phase where the final touches are added to the project before delivery. It consists of composting, 2D VFX, color correction, and final output.
10
Success Stories
Pixune Studios is one of our best partners. We started with a very simple animation of 10 seconds and were immediately shocked by the quality of it. The team at Pixune Studios is composed of real artists who provide very creative content. We have tried to find a lot of 3D artists on Upwork but stopped looking when we found Pixune. We ended up by signing a long term contract with them. Amazing quality, team and very easy to work with

How To Choose The Best 3D Animation Company?
There are some criteria for picking the best 3D animation agency for your projects:
- Portfolio: A company’s expertise and experience is showcased via their 3D animation portfolio and nothing tells better what they are capable of than their past works.
- Experience: The more experienced a 3D animation production company is, the better it can handle the challenges and greater projects. They can provide high-quality works in shorter time-spans.
- Reviews: Read their reviews online and see what their past clients think of them. The most honest on-hand thing you can find in any company is their online reviews.
- Communication: Evaluate them from that first contact and impression. Their way of communication can tell a lot about your future interactions. For example, they don’t respond quickly, or act rude. In other cases, they set a deadline to do something but procrastinate and postpone it. This kind of treatment will be repeated throughout the project.
- Time and Budget Compatibility: After all, you might find the best 3D animation design studio in the world but your time-schedule and/or money budget do not meet their demands; that will lead to failure of initiating a collaboration. Find a studio that meets all the previous characteristics as well as your budget and schedule.
Why Outsource 3D Animation Production?
There are 5 logical reasons for you to consider outsourcing your 3D animation:
- Saving Money and Time: If you want to make your own 3D animation, you are going to need numerous 3D and even 2D artists; such as concept artists, modelers, animators, art directors etc. You should know the hassle of the hiring process and all the horrendous amount of time and money you are going to need for that. 3D animation studios already have all of those resources at their finger-tips and can make your animation way faster and cheaper.
- Versatility: A 3D animation agency provides a wide range of services such as storyboard, animatics, 3D modeling, animation, and rendering in different genres. They can be heavily stylized or even be photorealistic. Creativity knows no bounds with us.
- Scalability: if you want to expand your animation scale, you should grow your team too. That is no concerning matter for a 3D animation studio, because they already have enough artists. Even if they don’t have enough artists right away, they have connections and know artists who can hire right away so they can produce any amount of animation you are going to need.
- Quality: Practice makes perfect! A 3D animation company which has made numerous 3D animations and is constantly updating their knowledge on the corresponding industry. They keep up with the trends and watch state-of-the-art animations and use cutting-edge tools and can make highest-quality animations which might cost you and your team more time and budget.
- Creativity: Have you ever considered that you can outsource creativity too? There is no need for you to do everything by yourself. Even Apple went after Hovey-Kelley and used their fledgling design firm when they wanted to invent the first computer mouse. Creativity is one of 3D animation video company’s strong suits and our artists have nourished their minds; with hiring us, you also hire the creativity as well.
What Are The Advantages Of 3D Animation?
In a world where everyone goes after the simplicity of 2D art for representing their ideas, you can have a huge advantage by using 3D animation to showcase your ideas. Following are the main reasons for it:
- Trend: Can you name 5 3D feature films which you have recently watched? How about 2D animations? You probably can’t find the answer to later questions easily. That shows 3D animations are the trend of today’s world and market.
- Flexibility: When you design a 3D character, you have an infinite possible way to present it. You can rotate the camera around it, change its poses and facial expressions and render them in different angles. You don’t like parts of animation? You can easily change that. On the other hand, any change in pose or facial expression in 2D animation needs a rehaul and redesign of scene, character or object which are time and budget consuming.
- Time and Cost Effective: It is true that usually 3D animations are more expensive than its 2D counterpart but regarding previous points, when you need more flexibility, a 3D animation can save you a ton of time and money. For example, changing a 3D character’s facial form and pose and rendering them may take only some minutes to be done; for applying such changes on a 2D character you should design it from the base and depending on art style it can take days to do that.
- 2D Animations are Overused: They are overused due to their simple and cheap nature but effectiveness is the thing we are after. We live in an attention-based economy; anyone who can get more attention, can gain more. When your animation is like hundreds more on the market, can it pop and outshine? A 3D animation can be the edge you need over your competitors.
How To Make Eye-Catching 3D Animations?
There are many points that should be taken into account when it comes to making a 3D animation engaging and eye-catching.
There are many points that should be taken into account in producing a beautiful 3D animation but the these points play critical roles in that goal:
- Story and Script: The backbone of every successful animation is the story that is based upon. Without a solid narrative, you can’t achieve a strong outcome.
- Characters: By creating gorgeous and well-designed characters, you can have an empathic, loveable, and relatable roster who engage the viewer.
- Animate: Smooth and polished motions lead to believable scenes which grow the immersion of your animation.
- Lighting, Applying Shaders and Rendering Quality: Lighting does some marvelous magic for a 3D animation! Especially in low-budget cases; with principled lighting, professionally adding shades and high-quality rendering, you can turn a normal production to an eye-catching animation.
- Sound: Just watch an animation on mute and then rewatch it normally to see how much sound can affect an animation.
What Are The Final Deliverables?
We provide the final renders in any related compatible formats, such as .mp4 for videos. Also we can deliver them in different sizes and resolutions.
We can also give you promotional arts, like still image renders from characters and environments for marketing purposes.
For What Purpose Are 3D Animations Used?
3D animation is a powerful tool that can be used in a wide range of applications to create compelling, realistic and dynamic visuals. Here are some of the most common uses of 3D animation:
- Advertising: 3D animation is used in advertising to create engaging and visually appealing commercials and promotional materials. It lets you showcase your products or services that captures the viewer’s eye and leaves a long-lasting effect.
- Film and TV: It is used in the entertainment industry to create special effects, virtual environments, and animated characters. It lets you bring your ideas to life which wouldn’t happen via live-action format.
- Engineering and Architecture: Buildings and structures are modeled using 3D animation in architecture and engineering. Before construction begins, architects and engineers can visualize their designs in 3D, test different materials and techniques, and identify potential problems.
- Medical: 3D animations being used by medical agencies to showcase how diseases and cures work and act.
- Children Products: There is no better alternative to make children products than 3D animations these days. They are engaging, informative, and entertaining for kids to watch and enjoy.
- Instructional Purposes: Any scientific or informative matter can be shown via 3D animations to have a punchy and eye-catching impact on the viewer.
- Product Animation: You can reimplement your product in 3D, rotate the camera around it, zoom the camera on specific parts and show its characteristics, quality and performance with the help of animation. You can showcase beautiful renders of it for advertising your product. Doing all of these in live-action would be expensive and time-consuming and the final product wouldn’t be as glorious as its 3D counterpart.
