3D Animation in all its forms
From animated explainers to immersive content and interactive videos and apps, there are endless possibilities for 3D animation in business content marketing.
At Content Creatures, we are an award-winning strategic storytelling agency which combines creativity and technology to make 3D a viable option for most corporate video budgets.
And, because 3D animation is an incredibly flexible medium, you will find we often use it in combination with other animation or film-making techniques to create memorable moments of impact.
Below we’ll share some examples of our 3D animated video work and some detail on our process.

The Art of 3D Animation
At its core, 3D animation is a form of art that combines technology with creativity. It allows creatives unparalleled opportunities to build whole environment in 3D space to create dramatic camera moves, 3D characters can be viewed from any angle and do almost anything, while 3D renders of products can be opened-up and explored. The options are endless.
It all starts with style-frames, created by our design team, from which our animation team create digital models, textures, and animations in a virtual 3D environment to bring characters, products, or concepts to life.
In some cases, where the goal is to create something illustrative yet cinematic, the 3D animation is almost invisible as we seamlessly blend it with a 2D animation aesthetic.
This film for AXA is a great example of an illustrative 3D animated video.

The Process of 3D Animation for Business Content Marketing
We see ourselves as a creative partner, which is why the process of creating a 3D animated marketing video is a collaborative effort between our team and the client.
Strategy & Concept
It begins with a creative brief to understand the client’s goals, target audience, and message they want to convey. From this we develop treatments, scripts and moodboards.
Concept & Detailed Design
Once we have a direction, we create style-frames, storyboards and animatic to visualise the concept before moving on to designing and animating the 3D models.
Production & Delivery
Finally, we animate, add sound effects, music, and voiceovers to create a fully immersive and engaging experience for the audience.
Every project is guided by the values that shape how we think, collaborate, and create, find out what matters to us.
The Technique Behind 3D Animation
To achieve high-quality results, our 3D animation studio team uses industry-leading software such as Cinema 4D, X-Particles, and Redshift.
The team knows this software inside and out and chooses the right combination of techniques and tools to deliver the best look and most streamlined production process to bring your ideas to life within budget.
Whether you are looking for 3D animated explainer, 3D logo animation for your brand, or to create immersive or interactive video content for an event or exhibition, we can help.
Why not schedule a call to find out how?
Our animation studio offers full 3D animation services including character animation, environmental design, and stylised motion graphics.
We apply these skills across a range of formats such as explainer videos, brand films, corporate video production, and on-screen event content. We combine creative thinking with technical expertise to deliver 3D animation that supports clear messaging.
On average, a 3D animation project takes 6–12 weeks, depending on scope and complexity.
This includes storyboard creation, modelling, rigging, animation, rendering, and editing. Timelines can vary based on the number of animated characters, level of environmental detail, complexity of motion graphics and length of the video. Additional stages such as voiceover recording, sound design, and feedback rounds can also impact the schedule.
3D animation pricing typically starts from £10,000, but varies by project scale and detail. Let us know what you’re planning, and we’ll happily provide a bespoke quote with no obligation.
We use industry-standard software like Cinema 4D for modelling and animation, alongside Adobe Creative Suite for compositing and video editing.
Absolutely, we’re proud of our portfolio and happy to share examples. You can browse selected work on Our Work page, or if you have something specific in mind, let us know and we’ll put together a tailored folder of relevant case studies to match what you’re looking for.
Character modelling is led by our Design Director, who shapes each figure to match the project’s visual style, from stylised cartoon animation to more refined, realistic forms. Rigging is handled by our Head of Studio, who builds custom control systems to ensure smooth, expressive movement. By keeping both modelling and rigging in-house, we maintain full creative control and ensure each character is built to perform exactly as needed within the animation.
