What to Give Your 3D Animator: A Quick Guide
For a great 3D animation, we’ll need some good reference materials. Here’s what we’re looking for:
• CAD models
• Technical drawings
• Photos and videos of your product
• A description of how it works.
We can also make movies of dangerous things that could happen, like falling from high places or gas explosions. This helps us teach workers what to do if something bad happens.

Discover the power of 3D animation: photorealism vs. stylization
When designing a 3D animation, it’s crucial to determine the most suitable style for your brand and the animation’s purpose
· Photorealistic animations are ideal for industrial presentations where accuracy and detail are paramount.
· Stylized animations can be more appealing for consumer products, emphasizing dynamism and creativity.
It’s advisable to discuss these options with an animation studio to select the style that best aligns with your company’s needs. Modii3D offers both photorealistic visualizations and more stylized animations. View our portfolio..
