Everything about animation, 3D visualization, and infographics: from costs and turnaround time to our workflow. If your question is not listed, feel free to ask.
IT & SaaS animation is an umbrella term for animations that make software products and digital workflows understandable. Examples include explainers, use case animations, product demos, and technical animations for websites, sales, or onboarding.
A standard visual primarily shows what a product looks like. A positioning product animation goes further and also clarifies what the product does, what benefits it offers, and how it distinguishes itself for the target audience.
No. Product animations can also be used for sales and marketing videos, trade show presentations, e-commerce, onboarding, and other communication moments where quick product explanation is important.
Yes, that is actually a common application. An animation can help present a product convincingly during the launch phase, sales preparation, or pre-market communication.
Especially for technical, innovative, or complex products where the operation, structure, or benefits are not immediately clear. Animation is also a strong solution for products that are not yet physically available.
Yes. Especially for technical or complex products, animation is often a strong choice because you can explain functionality, benefits, and unique features visually and understandably.
The costs depend on factors such as complexity, length, the desired level of detail, and the choice between 2D and 3D. Because product animations are usually custom-made, the price is determined based on your product, objective, and desired application.
Yes. Processes that are difficult to visualize, such as software logic, AI applications, system dependencies, or technical operation, lend themselves well to animation. Visualization makes connections and sequence clearer than text alone.
Yes. Complex processes are often not only explained externally but are also used internally for onboarding, instruction, safety, and knowledge transfer. A video then helps to transfer information consistently and scalably.
That depends on the process. 2D often works well for abstract, step-by-step, or informative processes. 3D is particularly valuable when technology, product functionality, or spatial coherence needs to be visualized.
The costs depend on factors including the chosen format, length, level of detail, and whether 2D or 3D is best suited for the explanation. For complex processes, the amount of content that needs to be translated into a clear visual structure also plays a role. Therefore, this is usually custom work.
Yes; precisely because you can fully control the pace, tone, and comprehensibility (and we take accessibility into account).
That is possible. We can supply separate illustrations/characters and stills, so that you carry the style through to other material.
Yes. We create styleframes based on your brand guidelines and ensure that illustrations, colors, and typography are recognizable.
Usually a few weeks, depending on scope and feedback moments. We often plan a series (multiple short animations) as a package.
The price depends on length, number of scenes, illustration detail, character complexity, languages/subtitles, and the number of variants. After a brief consultation, we will provide a clear indication.
Whiteboard is a specific format with a “drawing effect”. Drawn animation is broader: illustrative/character/hand-drawn look, with or without a whiteboard effect.
The costs depend on the quantity and complexity. We always work with custom solutions and provide a clear indication in advance.
They ensure better usability, more clarity, and a higher conversion.
An explainer animation tells a complete story. Micro-animations support specific elements within a page.
Micro animations are short animations that visually explain products, software, or features within a website.
Target group + learning objective, source material (text or concept), corporate identity (logo/colors) and any must-haves (terminology, formats, languages).
Yes. Think of subtitles, clear contrasts, and versions that meet accessibility requirements.
For e-learning and course material, 45–90 seconds per topic often works best. For a series of modules, “short and modular” is usually more effective than one long animation.
For schools, training providers, educational publishers, and organizations that offer training or e-learning.
An educational animation is an animation that clearly explains learning material, instructions, or a concept. The focus is on understanding and knowledge transfer.
Can I use the animation in multiple places?
The costs depend on length, complexity, and style. We always work with custom pieces and provide a clear indication in advance.
The costs depend on length, complexity, and style. We always work with custom pieces and provide a clear indication in advance.
What is an annual report animation?
Depending on the scale and technical preparation, a project mapping process takes several weeks on average.
Yes. Project mapping can be applied to facades as well as inside halls, stages, or exhibition stands.
The costs depend on the location, complexity, and duration of the entertainment. We always work on a custom basis and provide a clear price indication in advance.
Project mapping is a technique in which animation is projected onto a building or object, aligned with its exact shape. This creates a 3D illusion of movement and transformation.
On average a few weeks, depending on feedback rounds and content complexity.
The investment depends on length, complexity, and style. We always work with custom pieces and provide a clear price indication in advance.
When safety depends on clear instructions and uniform communication. Think of workplaces, technical environments, or public buildings.
A safety animation is a visual instruction in animation form that explains risks, procedures, or emergency situations. The focus is on clarity and behavioral change.
Yes. All SaaS explainer animations are fully designed in your branding, so they seamlessly align with your brand.
On average, a process takes a few weeks. The exact turnaround time depends on feedback rounds and the desired outcome.
The costs depend on the length, complexity, and style. We always work with custom pieces and provide a clear price indication in advance.
SaaS explainer animations are often used on websites, in sales processes, during user onboarding, and in marketing campaigns.
A SaaS explainer animation is a short animated video that explains how a software product works and what value it offers. It is ideal for making complex functionalities understandable to new users.
Yes. All isometric animations are fully designed in your house style, including colors, typography, and visual elements. This ensures the animation aligns seamlessly with your brand.
On average, a process takes a few weeks, depending on the scope and feedback rounds. During the process, we keep the schedule clear and coordinate every step with you.
The costs depend on the length, complexity, and desired style. We always work with custom pieces and provide a clear price indication in advance, so you know what to expect.
Isometric animation works with a fixed perspective, whereas 3D animation moves completely freely in space. Isometric animation is often more efficient and clearer, while 3D animation offers more realism and detail.
Isometric animation is suitable when you want to display multiple components, steps, or layers simultaneously. Think of technical processes, logistical systems, or internal explanations where overview and structure are important.
An isometric animation is a 2D animation with a fixed perspective, creating a spatial 3D appearance. This style is ideal for clearly visualizing processes, systems, or structures without the complexity of a full 3D animation.
On average, 3-6 weeks for 60-90 seconds, depending on complexity and the number of feedback rounds. A series of microlearnings or 3D tracks requires more time. Together, we will plan a realistic schedule around your timetables, exam weeks, and events.
For knowledge clips, 60-120 seconds works best. Break complex topics into modules of 60-90 seconds, with interim questions or exercises. For policy communication directed at parents, you can go a little longer, as long as the core message is clear in the first 30 seconds.
We provide standard subtitles and advise on readability and contrast. Multilingual voice-overs or versions with audio description are possible. We also supply subtitle files and silent versions for social media or digital learning environments.
Expect 3 to 6 weeks for 60 to 90 seconds. Complex projects involving simulations, multiple languages, or additional variants may take longer. Faster delivery is sometimes possible through phased delivery or by focusing the scope.
Ideally, we receive STEP or similar CAD files. Furthermore, the script target, product documentation, reference photos, and brand guidelines are helpful. For software, UI designs or a click demo are useful. If anything is missing, we will help find alternatives.
You can use the animation on your website, in sales conversations, at trade shows, and on social media. We deliver channel-specific versions in MP4 and, if desired, ProRes, plus stills, subtitles, and short snippets in portrait and square formats.
Yes. We can model based on technical drawings, prototypes, sketches, or photos. We closely coordinate which details need to be visible so that the visualization aligns with reality and the message.
Roomplanner operates on a freemium model: basic functions are free, while advanced options and export require a subscription. This is useful for quick sketches, but the photorealistic quality and material-light control of professional 3D interior visualization are significantly superior.
Designers often model in SketchUp, Revit, or ArchiCAD. For visualization, we use professional 3D packages such as 3ds Max or Blender with render engines like Corona or V-Ray, and for real-time presentations, Enscape or Unreal. You do not need to own any software – we handle the entire production.
You start with a floor plan or 3D model, gather references, and determine the style and camera angles. We build or optimize the 3D model, set up materials and lighting, render previews, and incorporate your feedback. Finally, we deliver the definitive renders, animation, or 360 panorama in the correct resolutions.
Provide construction drawings or 3D models, material lists, and reference images. We build the model, choose viewpoints and atmosphere together, incorporate feedback, and deliver final renders or animations in the correct formats for your channels.
The investment depends on complexity, the number of frames, variations, and desired extras such as animations. Indicative prices often start at a few hundred euros per frame. After a brief intake Animation Agency will quickly share a transparent, suitable quote.
Visualization makes a design visible and understandable before it exists. With 3D exterior visualizations, you translate technical plans into images that realistically depict material, light, and context, so that decision-makers and buyers immediately understand what they are getting.
The price depends on scope, level of detail, number of images, location, and animation or tour requirements. After your briefing, we will prepare a clear, customized quote with a realistic schedule. If you combine multiple images or an animation, we recommend an efficient setup that saves time and budget.

Yes. We work seamlessly with Revit, SketchUp, and Archicad files, among others. We optimize geometry and materials for visualization and supplement them with environment, styling, and lighting for a photorealistic result.
We prefer to receive floor plans and elevations as PDF or DWG, a BIM model as IFC or RVT, reference photos, material and color lists, and any mood boards. The more complete the input, the faster and more accurate the output.
For many applications, a compact animation of 30 to 90 seconds works best, especially for sales, online use, and introductions. If you need to explain a complex process or demonstrate multiple functions, a longer build-up may be logical. For onboarding, training, or step-by-step explanations, a 3D instructional animation be a logical format. The ideal length therefore depends not only on the subject but, above all, on the goal and the viewing moment.

The investment depends on length, complexity, desired style, level of detail, and the quality of the source material. A technical 3D animation typically requires more production work than a simple 2D explanation. Therefore, we always create a custom proposal that fits the goal and scope.
Professional 3D animation is custom work. The budget is primarily determined by complexity, length, number of scenes, and the amount of specialized 3D work. As a result, the investment is usually higher than for 2D animation. After a short briefing, we can indicate much more specifically which approach and costs suit your project. If you would like to know more about the costs of 3D animation, you can find more context there.
There is no ideal duration for an animation video. Aspects that play a decisive role in this include the purpose of the video and the subject matter, and particularly their complexity.
A general guideline for the average length of an animation is 1.5 minutes. However, the most important thing is knowing how to effectively hold the viewer's attention. Our expertise and your content input form the key to success for an effective co-creation.
The average turnaround time for creating an animation video is 4 to 8 weeks, from the moment of approval. As an animation studio, is important to walk you through the process hand in hand. This means that we involve you in every phase, and you get the opportunity to provide feedback at every stage.
