Animation for Stationary Products

It’s easy to envision how animation can be utilized in marketing a product that has a lot of motion involved with it — whether the motion is functionality, or the installation process.  But, what about those great products that serve a great purpose, but don’t seem to lend themselves well to using animation?

Ecotec’s energy efficient industrial battery charger is a great example of such a situation. This charger offers flexibility, wireless communications and controls, and energy efficiency — but, there’s not any physical motion involved in it’s operation.  Utilizing 3D animation, motion can be added using camera motion, creative views, and animated titles to grab and keep the viewer’s attention.

The animated video was recently released at a trade show, and served their booth with engaging visuals and talking points.  Take a quick look at this completed project at the link below, to see how even a non-moving product can benefit from animation.

 

 

Surfacing and Texturing of CAD & SolidWorks Models

Product manufacturers invest heavily into their engineering departments to create and design products using the most current technologies available.  These 3D CAD and SolidWorks models can be very complex in design, with a large variety of interconnected parts.

When it comes to generating still or animated renderings of the models that have realistic surfacing and texturing, our animation team can turn your CAD and SolidWorks models into a powerful marketing tool for use on your website, in your product catalog or in your booth at your next trade show.

Surfacing & Animation for 3D CAD & SolidWorks Models

The CAD file pictured above is a great example of how we can take your monochrome 3D models and apply realistic surfacing.  After we apply all the appropriate textures and surfaces, we can then generate high resolution still renders for print, or create a fully animated video presentation.

We would love to hear from your company to see if creating realistic 3D renderings from your CAD and SoildWorks files will help in your marketing efforts. Reach out to our team today at 262-898-8989. We look forward to serving you!
