What is a 3D animation?

A 3D animation is, as the name suggests, animation in 3D. It is a graphic technique that uses movement to bring characters and objects to life in the digital world. This technique creates the illusion that digital objects move through a three-dimensional space. This creates a hyper-realistic visualization where, unlike an animation in 2D, you also experience real depth.

These animations are made with special models and 3D software. Originally, the technique was mainly used in video games and movies, but nowadays the technique is also widely used by companies. It is an efficient way to demonstrate a product in a realistic way, and from all angles.

What can you use a 3D animation for?
The main advantage of a 3D animation is that this animation can create visuals that cannot be created in a 2D animation. Also, by means of 3D animations, things can be displayed that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Think, for example, of the visualization of chemical processes, minuscule particles, or celestial bodies in the universe. The 3D animation is also very suitable for images with high complexity.

For this reason, 3D animation is often used as a marketing tool, for example, to visualize products that are still in the design phase. In this way, a product can be presented to a potential customer in a realistic way, even before the product is actually made. Many companies use 3D animations to market their product and increase their sales. In addition, this technique is also widely used in sectors such as healthcare, architecture, and real estate.
