photo-real 3D packaging

How to create photo-realistic package designs

Visualize products before they are created using 3D product modeling

Create 3D products, custom website with configuators, or for trade show booths

Here’s one way to use your newly created animation from your CAD/CAM files–post them to your YouTube channel while embedding links back to your website. Did you know that YouTube is now the 2nd largest search engine after Google? Over 6 billion hours of video is watched on YouTube every month. Your customers are probably going to YouTube to research their engineering needs.

Products rendered from 3D

3D Visualization can be more cost effective than photography

Eliminate unwanted reflections and other challenges in the photo studio using 3D photorealistic illustration


Using our principles of 3D Animation we have found that re-purposing CAD files wit the ability to photo-realistically visualize reality in 3D can often be the best, and sometimes the only way, to truly demonstrate how a product works or what the final product will look like. 3D pre-visualization can help a company show the inner workings of a product. It can also be used to demonstrate processes that would be extremely challenging to capture in video, like those involving gas and liquids. In 3D, time may be slowed down or sped up to show a process that may be too fast to perceive or would be tedious to watch in real time.  It has the ability to bring the most microscopic detail or the largest scale idea to a level where it can be observed and understood.

When Paul Lipsky, a 3D artist, started Mindyolk Technical Animation Studio in 2007, his focus was on the tail end of the manufacturing process, namely marketing and consumer materials.  But with advancements in CAD software and pre-visualization, now manufacturers use his 3D pre-visualizations to build new products. This latest wave of technological innovation and production tools makes it easier to bring new products to market faster.  With a focus on 3D Pre-visualization before manufacturing, these new tools are providing cost effective options for manufacturers and allowing for experimentation in design and material. Now, more than ever before, his 3D skills are in demand from the very beginning of the design process.

Using 3D Technical Animation to Describe a Chemical Process

3D Animation for Manufacture using CAD file

Leveraging CAD to Create Precise Animated Videos.

3D Technical illustration Animations can visually explain complex chemical processes while still holding the viewers attention.

Posting your 3D animated visualization to your YouTube channel while embedding links back to your website, is an excellent way to drive traffic to your website. Did you know that YouTube is now the 2nd largest search engine after Google? Over 6 billion hours of video is watched on YouTube every month. Your customers are probably going to YouTube to research their engineering needs.

8 Reasons to use Technical 3D Animation

1. Quickly, visually, communicate complex concepts and interactions.
2. Strip away an object’s outer layer revealing the inner workings of an assemblage.
3. Simulate phenomena such as gravity, liquid, and gaseous material properties.
4. Correctly represent the surface properties of physical objects.
5. Add animated informational graphics like arrows and numbers.
6. Visualize at the either the micro or macro scale.
7. Manipulate temporal events by either slowing down or speeding up for better understanding of a process.
8. Visualize objects that can’t be normally seen.

Accu.C Body Camera 3D Illustration

3D Illustration From CAD

Our 3D Animation Studio can create photo-real products before they exist.

3D illustration eliminates unwanted reflections that are always a challenge in the photo studio.

Our client Lamiroult Advertising & Design needed a quick turnaround advertisement for the Consumer and Electronic’s show CES.  The ACCU.C is a body camera product optimized for the Verizon Network that needed to be shown during CES despite the fact that it did not exist yet.  Our 3D Animation studio converted our client’s CAD file into our 3D animation software. Using various lighting and texturing techniques we rendered a photo-real picture that was then placed within their ad and displayed at their tradeshow booth.

Shutterball Package Renderings

Shutterball Package Renderings let retailers see packaging and display options before they are actually produced.

3D pre-visualization can be more cost effective than photography with products that can be made using multiple finishes or materials. It’s a fairly simple procedure to change a material on a 3D modeled object once the model is created. Whereas bringing multiple prototypes of a decent sized product to a photography studio for photos could be time consuming. cumbersome, and costly. In addition, the photos would often need costly post-work or retouching, particularly with transparent or highly reflective materials. With today’s photo-realistic 3D rendering techniques it’s often possible to save effort, time, and money with a 3D rendering. In addition, lighting can be fully and easily controlled within a 3D virtual environment.


Click and drag

Allowing bright product colors to speak for themselves was a primary goal of this package. Hitting the right demographic with the lifestyle images was also vitally important.

The 3D Web App is a great way to engage prospects because not only does the animation command attention, but its interactive features allow viewers to examine details, as they rotate and explore the package from all sides.

Prestige Product Line Beauty Shot

Prestige product line beauty shot reflects quality.

3D illustration eliminates unwanted reflections that are always a challenge in the photo studio.

Prestige Remote Start Transmitters, a familiar name in automotive aftermarket, gets a fresh face as we collaborate with Lamiroult Adverising & Design to introduce the 2016 line of ProCore-compatible transmitters. Metallic ink in a carefully controlled palette gives the packaging a sheen that screams high end automotive technology.

3D illustration allows us to control focus without regard to depth of field, and eliminates undesired reflections that are always a challenge in the photo studio, especially with a reflective surface. And, no actual products or prototypes are needed—illustrations can be made form the flat package graphics—which means retailers can see the package before it’s produced.
