The 3D design/animation pipeline consists of pre-production, where the project is planned out and visualized; production, where all of the elements needed for the final design/animation are created; and post-production, where all of those elements come together to produce the final image.

Orientation | Pre-production:
In this phase, the focus is on mapping out the assignment. What wishes do you have? 3D design is custom work. It is therefore important that expectations are clearly agreed upon before we start working. After consultation, we draw up a document that clearly defines the assignment in terms of visual and technical requirements.

Sketch phase | Production:
Emerging from the orientation phase, the first draft. A rough elaboration of the final design/animation: modelling. Are all proportions and basic properties of the scene right? Before we proceed with texturing or lighting, it is important that the scene meets all the right requirements.

Realization phase | Production:
Final detailing of the 3D model(s) and scene. Materials are made and mood is set: texturing & lighting. A last version of the final design/animation is presented with sample render(s). From these renderings, final adjustments can be made regarding textures, lighting and render properties. Movement is added to the scene: animation.

Completion | Post-production :
Finetuning and testing of the design/animation. Stills of the final product are rendered and layered in post production: rendering & compositing.
