In the past decade, AIMIR devoted much effort to innovation and development, which essentially means that we keep striving for new breakthroughs, ensure that our techniques and software keep pace with the times and have always been able to customize flexible, professional, comprehensive and accurate solutions according to different budget and specific demands of our clients.
3ds Max
Advantages
3ds Max is the most conventional and widely-used software of 3D architectural animations production. Its biggest advantage is that it can produce realistic animations, being widely-used and with well-developed technology. Having irreplaceable operations of details such as the performance of the material details and rendering of the channel, it also has seamless connections with other 3D-production and post-production software. Furthermore, it is highly customizable and can be capable of all kinds of projects.
Disadvantages
3ds Max is not an easy tool to play with. And it takes time to render an animation. So, the time frame of producing a 3ds Max animation could be quite long. Besides, it relies on teamwork and sufficient manpower, which makes its cost relatively higher.
AIMIR’s Suggestions
3ds Max can be used to produce high-end marketing/advertising films of mid-to-high end bidding projects, adjusting to different projects. It is more suitable for the projects with sufficient budget and high-quality requirement.

UE4
Advantages
UE4 animations are of good quality. It seems that the high-quality UE4 animations are going to surpass MAX animations no matter in overall effects or details (like material and shadow). It not only can render in real time, which ensure that what you see is what you get, but also is more efficient.
Disadvantages
Being challenging and interleaving, VR technology is a front and more novel discipline, although it is not as widely-used as 3ds Max. It demands better hardware, more professional experts and longer production time, leading to the higher cost. It is not convenient to modify its productions, which only can be overhauled, because of lacking channel rendering. Besides, it’s not convenient to make modifications in later phases of production, because UE4 does not have channel rendering as 3ds Max does. Only the overall effect can be adjusted.
AIMIR’s suggestions
If you have sufficient budget and time, if you are looking for a novel and more attractive presentation through an immersive, engaging VR experience, and if you want to be impressed by VR technology, then you must contact AIMIR now. You will know how our clients are excited about it. Once you develop a VR program for your project, AIMIR will give away a well-cut film for free!
Lumion
Advantages
Compared with MAX and UE4, LUMION is the simplest because it gathers a lot of presets, which is convenient for users and also works well. Thus, it is the most efficient with lowest cost.
Disadvantages
The built-in presents are so limited that the effects of LUMION animation fail to have many breakthroughs. As a result, LUMION animation is not a patch on MAX animation or UE4 animation. Without channel rendering, it is not convenient to modify and adjust.
AIMIR’s suggestions
LUMION animation works for the middle-size and small-size projects with a limited budget and short delivery that does not ask for high quality because of its cost-effective. Moreover, the AIMIR technical team have exclusive techniques to improve the quality of LUMION animation. Please watch the sample of LUMION animation which we believe would also be stunning.
