- Marketing: 3D animations can be used to create visually stunning marketing materials that help to sell the building or project to potential clients or investors.
- Time and cost-effective: With 3D animations, architects and designers can easily modify and refine their designs before construction starts.
- Deep client engagement: 3D animations help to engage clients and keep them interested in the project. It also helps to build trust and confidence in the design, as clients can see a more realistic representation of the final product.
- Better decision-making: 3D animations assist to make better decisions as it provides a better understanding of the space and design.


WHY WORK WITH US?
- Expertise and proficiency. We deal with architectural 3D animation projects every working day with passion, and hope to keep meeting new projects in the future.
- A veteran and dedicated team. Today, we have more than 50 veteran 3D artists in our team, with an average professional experience of more than 8 years.
- Professional consulting advice. We absolutely love to give our advice on architectural design or rendering, such as the mood, camera path, or facade materials.
- Photorealistic renders. We believe our 3D walkthrough and flythrough portfolio speaks more than the words. This is what we’ve been working on all the time.
- Personal project manager and project team. For each 3D animation rendering project, our client gets a PM and a 3D team who dedicated to this project only until it’s completed.
ARCHITECTURAL 3D ANIMATON
PROCESS
We believe a powerful visual starts from a good brief. The brief is the indispensable part of an exterior rendering project. We’ve prepared simplified briefs for 3D RENDERING, 3D ANIMATION, and VR. Here is how a standard 3D exterior rendering process look like:
1. BRIEFING
You share all information related to the project. Your project manager goes through all of them and discusses with you any initial questions.
2. STORYBOARD / CAMERA PATH
We work on the main concept of the video that decides what the storyboard is like or how would you like the camera to go.
3. MODELING
Our 3D artists start working on the 3D model based on the materials. This could be 3D modeling from design plan, or fine-tuning a ready model.
4. COMMENT & MODIFY
You check the model draft with storyboard or camera path and mark-up your opinions. Our 3D team adjust the model according to your comments.
6. KEY FRAMES
We provide the colour draft with materials, textures, lighting cars, passerby and other necessary settings.
6. RENDERING/MOTION GRAPHICS
We create raw 3D output data for compisiting with visual effects, motion graphics, transitions and others.
7. POST-PROCESSING & FINAL DELIVERY
Before the final delivery, we add more details such as the BGM, environment, navigation and other editing details. At last, your 3D animation is delivered with your desired quality.
This is our standard workflow of an architectural 3D animation project. We fully understand that every project is different, and the process may vary project to project.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is architectural 3D animation?
Architectural 3D animation, or 3D walkthrough or 3D flythrough, is a process of creating realistic scenes for architectural design using specialized software. It is an innovative way to visualize the architecture projects. The process basically includes 3D modeling, storyboard or camera path confirmation, applying materials and textures to the scene, rendering and motion graphics, post-processing and final delivery.
Who uses architectural 3D animation?
Many people benefit from architectural 3D animation. Architects, interior designers, real estate developers, real estate agents, constructors and other professionals use 3D walkthrough and flythrough as the most powerful tool to sell their property, demonstrate their design, persuade the jury, or report to the city. Not limited to the above, 3D animation is also a perfect choice for minimizing mistakes and avoid redesign during the design or construction stages. The main applications of architectural 3D animation:
Marketing and sales: to showcase a building or development to potential clients or investors
Design visualization: to help architects and designers visualize and refine their designs
Planning and development: to help stakeholders visualize the impact of proposed developments on the surrounding environment
Training and education: to provide training and educational materials for building maintenance and safety procedures
Virtual reality and augmented reality: to create immersive experiences for users to interact with the building or development.
How does architectural 3D animation assist architects and designers?
Architectural 3D animation can assist architects and designers in several ways:
Visualization: 3D animations allow architects and designers to visualize their designs in a realistic manner, helping them to make more informed design decisions.
Communication: 3D animations can help architects and designers communicate their design ideas to clients, stakeholders, and other team members more effectively than traditional 2D drawings or sketches.
Feedback: 3D animations can be used to solicit feedback from clients and stakeholders, allowing architects and designers to make necessary changes to their designs before construction begins.
Marketing: 3D animations can be used as a marketing tool to showcase a building or development to potential clients or investors, helping to generate interest and secure funding for the project.
What is the cost of architectural 3D animation?
This is a tricky question, because the cost of an architectural 3D animation depends on many factors, such as the length of the video, the scale of the scene, and the overall workload. For example, a 3D flythrough of a large shopping mall development definitely cost more than a 3D walkthrough of a single house. Anyway, please contact AIMIR’s project managers via email to get a free quote for your project.
How long does architectural 3D animation take?
Another tricky question. The truth is we never know the answer. However, please bear in mind that the time needed to complete an architectural 3D animation project depends on its workload. For example, how complex is the structure or structures in the scene? How to deal with the surrounding context? But we normally complete 60 seconds animation in two or three weeks.
How to order architectural 3D animation services?
Say hi to our friendly project managers, send your brief (as detailed as possible), we will get back to you within 24 hours! We will include a proposal for your project, and the 3D team will get down to work immediately.
