3D explainer video FAQ
What is a 3D explainer video?
A 3D explainer video uses 3D models to explain how a product, part or process works, from the inside. Blue Sky Bio's explainer turns a crown clear, cuts it open, and labels the "Square head" and "Square seat" its new tapered screw replaces. No camera can show that view.
When should an explainer use 3D instead of 2D?
Use 3D when the answer sits inside a part, at molecular scale or in a closed machine. SMC's chiller explainer works because the unit is shown cooling a car body line. Use 2D when the answer is a flow of people, money or screens, where depth adds cost and no information.
Can a 3D explainer show molecular biology accurately?
Yes, when the science team supplies the structures and signs off each scene. Cell Signaling Technology's explainer shows immune cells and receptors in 3D, then labeled CAR constructs with parts such as "scFv" and "CD28", and opens on its "For Research Use Only" line.
How do you keep a medical or dental 3D explainer accurate?
Build from the manufacturer's CAD files and part codes, and get the model approved before animation. Blue Sky Bio's explainer names each part by its code, such as "(SRJH2)" for the screw. Nobel Biocare's switches to a live-action macro shot for the wetting test, so the surface claim stays real.
How much does 3D explainer video production cost?
Fees for 60 seconds are fixed before production. Detailed 3D work usually sits in the Advanced Animation tier, $3,000 to $4,500. The budget for each tier comes with the proposal. Molecular and cross-section scenes take the most modeling time, so they sit at the top of that range. Simpler device explainers can sit lower.
How long does a 3D explainer take to produce?
The 3D explainers in this portfolio each list 3 to 4 weeks from brief to final edit. Legrand's scope ran from CAD file conversion and model cleanup to lighting, rendering and sound design. A longer explainer such as SMC's 2:20 tour of 4 applications uses more of that window than a short 44-second reveal.
