Why Use 3D Cinemagraphs

Informative

Showcase your buildings’ lighting solutions at different times of the day — in a dynamic way.

Mesmerizing

Use animated visual effects to increase the aesthetic appeal of your presentation or marketing CGI.

Inspiring

Appeal to your viewers’ emotions by adding captivating storytelling elements to the visuals.

Types of 3D Cinemagraphs We Create

Each cinemagraph is built from a 3D scene of your project: the frame stays still, and one or two details move in a seamless loop. These are the projects we animate most often, and they pair well with our other 3D rendering services.

Interior Cinemagraphs

Kitchens, living rooms, lobbies and showrooms with one small detail in motion: steam over a pot, a flickering fireplace, a curtain in the breeze or light moving across the room. It draws attention to the materials and the mood of the space.

Exterior Cinemagraphs

A house or a building in its setting, with clouds drifting, trees swaying or daylight slowly turning into evening light. One short loop shows the facade, the landscaping and the lighting at different times of the day.

Amenity Cinemagraphs

Pools, terraces, rooftops and gardens, where moving water and leaf shadows make the scene feel real. A good fit for resort, hotel and multifamily marketing, where the amenities help sell the property.

The Best of Both Worlds

A combination of still imagery and animated VFX, a 3D cinemagraph is an incredibly attractive and versatile type of CGI for architecture and real estate professionals. It pairs well with full-motion videos, and our guide to archviz animation explains where each format works best.

Impactful Presentations

Including a 3D cinemagraph in your design presentation will help to communicate your vision more effectively and impress the viewers.
