3D design and animation

3D logos, product renders and animation for brands and startups, modeled and rendered in Blender, from style frames to every format you need.

3D gives a digital brand presence: light, material, weight. I design and animate 3D logos and products for brands and startups, most recently an iridescent 3D logo and launch animation for Poppin, from the first logo concepts to the final renders in three weeks.

When 3D is worth it

  • The product isn’t ready to film: a prototype, or something that only exists as CAD files.
  • The product is hard to film well: glass, chrome, liquids and tiny details are expensive to shoot and easy to render.
  • Your brand is digital: an app or a logo has no physical form until it’s built in 3D.
  • You need many variations: once the model exists, new colors, angles and formats are fast to produce.
  • It’s a launch moment: a product reveal or an app intro is where a polished animation pays off most.

From brief to render

  1. Brief and references: goal, channels, must-have shots and the look you’re after.
  2. Style frames: still images that fix the look before anything moves. AI image tools help explore materials and moods quickly.
  3. Modeling from CAD files, vectors or reference photos.
  4. Materials and lighting, where a render starts to look premium.
  5. Animation: timing, easing and camera moves.
  6. Rendering and compositing, then delivery in every format and size you need.

I work in Blender for modeling, materials, lighting and rendering, and After Effects for compositing and 2D motion. More in the guide to 3D product animation.

How a project works

Four crisp steps with daily check-ins and zero guesswork, so every project stays on track and ships on time.

  1. 01Kick-off. We align on goals, scope, and timeline, then send a clear invoice so everyone knows exactly what’s included.
  2. 02Project start. Once payment clears, we dive straight in to keep momentum high and your launch date on track.
  3. 03Daily check-ins. You receive a brief progress note or visual each day, ensuring quick feedback and zero drift.
  4. 04Ship & refine. We deliver launch-ready files and give you time for a final check or tweak before we wrap.

Poppin: a 3D logo and launch animations for an event discovery app

How I redesigned Poppin’s bottle logo as an iridescent 3D asset and animated it in Blender and After Effects for app intros and social media, in three weeks.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a 3D logo animation take?

For Poppin it took three weeks from the first logo concepts to the final renders of both animations, including the logo redesign. Animating an existing logo or simple object can take around one to two weeks; a complex product with many shots, four weeks or more.

Is Blender good enough for professional work?

Yes. Blender is used by studios worldwide for product renders, animation and visual effects. The quality comes from modeling, materials, lighting and motion, not from which software you use.

Can you make a 3D animation from photos of my product?

Photos work as references for modeling, especially from several angles with measurements. CAD files are better when they exist, because they give exact proportions and details.

Can an AI-generated image become a 3D logo?

Not directly. An AI image is a good reference for color, material and mood, but the logo has to be rebuilt as a real 3D model, with its own materials and lighting, before it can be animated or rendered.
