3D Video Calculator

Using our 3D animation price calculator, combined with your preferences, we establish a preliminary project scope.

• Questions addressed in this step:
  1. Which type of 3D animation do you require? Familiarize yourself with common types through the links below:
     • Product-based 3D animation
     • Engineering 3D animation
     • Medical 3D animation
  2. What's your budget for the entire project?
  3. Is the project's deadline feasible?
  4. Provide general information about your business.
  5. What are the objectives of the 3D animation? What message should viewers take away?

We collect introductory information on the project and form the body of the project.

• In this step, we should answer questions:

  • Which intermediate result should the character serve?
  • How and where will it be used?
  • Human, animal or creature? What gender?
  • What qualities should he represent?
  • What should it be able to do?
  • Is there a rough deadline?
  • What is the range of cost that the project must fit?

Once all the necessary information is collected, we proceed to sign a contract with a duration ranging from 1 to 3 years.

Upon commencement, we activate our work hour tracker. The project is segmented into manageable tasks, which are then scheduled through our CRM. Each task is allocated a specific percentage of the overall project time and budget.

The anticipated project cost is divided according to the pipeline stages. At this juncture, you need to decide on the number of payments you wish to make before the completion of the work. The number should range between 3 and the total number of stages in your project. The more frequent the payments, the more favorable it is.

Typically, the initial deposit is around 10% of the total project cost.

After gathering insights about the strengths and weaknesses of your company, as well as other relevant information about your business, we will craft the voiceover script. The script plays a pivotal role in the final outcome and influences how potential customers perceive your business or service.

The script development process involves several stages: drafting, revising, and finalizing, ensuring it's concise yet meaningful. Each revision serves a specific purpose.

We design the concept for the 3D character, capturing the traits you wish to represent. This early visualization helps adjust the appearance and incorporate your preferences before the more demanding stages. This process reduces future edits and conserves considerable project time.

We immerse ourselves in your business, crafting a visual language to resonate with your prospective clients.

Once we ascertain what's essential for a successful outcome, we assess existing assets you might have that can be leveraged for the project. Such optimization not only conserves project time but also ensures a higher-quality video for the same budget.

Once the text is finalized, we transition to the voiceover phase. You have the opportunity to select a voice from our extensive database to represent your video. Following that, we provide you with multiple versions, each paired with distinct background music samples for your consideration.

Based on the endorsed design, we craft a 3D character that serves as your brand's representative or avatar. This intricate procedure encompasses a minimum of five distinct phases: blocking (establishing the foundational shape), fine-tuning of features, apparel design, re-topology (optimizing polygon structures), and grooming (designing the hairstyle).

Aligned with the script and design, we illustrate key frames that display the events and their appearance in the animation. If required, an intermediary video can be crafted, presenting a sequence of frames accompanied by voiceover and background music.

We craft 3D models of entities participating in the video, such as equipment and surroundings. These models are fashioned in line with the design and script, varying based on the intended shot proximity. Macro shots require the utmost detail and, as a result, consume significantly more production time.

We create a UV map, then define the surface's physical properties for the character's body and craft textures based on the approved concept. It's crucial to determine the shot proximity in advance. Failing to do so could lead to technical constraints necessitating texture adjustments.

We establish a UV map, then assign the surface's physical properties to the objects and craft the textures in line with the design.

We craft realistic hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, or fur for the character, tailored to its use as an avatar or mascot.

We bind the 3D character to a skeletal structure, allowing us to control its movements. This phase enables us to animate the mascot or assign it the desired poses and facial expressions. For a 3D avatar, the approach varies slightly based on the real-time motion capture system in use.

We construct movable joints for the equipment, enabling us to simulate its real-world functionalities, from basic bending to intricate suspension systems. The rig is essential for animating the model.

We craft a setting or backdrop for the character, tailoring it to specific scenarios such as an office, room, factory floor, stadium, gym, and more. This environment helps contextualize the character and enhance the overall visual storytelling.

We combine the entire scene and animate the 3D objects within it. The stage comprises several parts where the general concept is tested through rough animation and then detailed in the final version.

When everything moves according to the script, we render the 3D scene. We adjust the lighting and the render engine so that the video is finished at the optimal time and looks cinematically, without any errors and artifacts.

We post-process the rendered frames until they look as intended or better. Then, we apply FX, mix it with voiceover, and render a compressed 3D animation video. Hundreds of gigabytes of rough material turn into a video of about 100 Mb.
