Project Information | 3D Modeling | Texturing | Lighting | Animation |
Once we receive all the necessary materials and specifications from you for your project, we’ll create a custom quote for you. Upon approval, we are ready to begin modeling. | The first technical step of the 3D process is modeling the whole geometry of your subject. | Once your architectural geometry has been modeled in 3D space, we begin the texturing process. | Lighting the model is a crucial step in the animation process. We choose the appropriate type of light for the purpose, test render the lights and adjust them as needed. | Now we make it move! We track, scroll and dolly cameras through the scene we have built, then dial in the keyframes. Once we’re ready, we’ll provide you with a hardware preview to approve before rendering can begin. |

Rendering | Compositing | Sound Design | Proofs |
Rendering is the final process of creating the 2D images that are the basis of your animation. Each frame of the animation is rendered in multiple passes such as diffuse, shadow, ambient occlusion, and reflection. | In the compositing/post-production stage, thousands of individual multi-pass layers are brought together to form your 3D animation. We’ll add color correction, adjustment layers, tints, blurs and lighting effects to give your animation more dynamism and impact. | In the sound design stage, we’ll incorporate music with your visuals. The music score will help your animation, drawing out subtle emotions and enhancing the atmosphere for your audience. | Once your final animation has been refined to presentation quality, we’ll send you a link to your digital proof. Once you’re happy with the work, we upload the final artwork to you, leaving you with an animation that captures the heart of your concepts. |

Project Information | Character Design | Storyboard | 3D Modeling |
Once we receive all the necessary materials and specifications from you for your project, we’ll create a custom quote for you. Upon approval, we are ready to begin designing your characters. | Based on your character descriptions, we begin the process of developing the look of your characters. | Once the character designs are fully developed, we sketch out a storyboard based on the script. The storyboard will include sketches for the movement of the characters, camera angles, and overall look and feel of the environments. | The first technical step of the 3D process is modeling the geometry of your characters and environment. |

Texturing | Rigging & Animation | Lighting | Rendering |
Once your characters and environment have been modeled in 3D space, we begin the texturing process. | With the characters created in 3D, we begin rigging and animation. Rigging is the process of assigning joints to specific parts of the character in order to make it move. Once each character has been rigged, we animate it inside of its respective environment based on the script. | Lighting the model is a crucial step in the animation process. We choose the appropriate type of light for the purpose, test render the lights and adjust them as needed. | Rendering is the final process of creating the 2D images that are the basis of your animation. Each frame of the animation is rendered in multiple passes such as diffuse, shadow, ambient occlusion, and reflection. |
