Nowadays 3D animation can affect your business drastically. Many projects proved that their products have been taken to a large extent once they decided to use 3D video with its impressive visual effects. 3D animation videos statistically help products to convey the idea faster than any other type of video. The visual beauty of these videos and the precise portrayal of the products or services make people easily understand the gist of the subject. Admit that a clear understanding of your services links a person to the moment when he or she is more open to using it.
And..this is exactly what helps the audience to be engaged, interested in the product. Meanwhile, your product becomes a valuable object worthy of people’s attention. The position of 3D videos as a tool for marketing is increasing every year. Considering such circumstances, we asked ourselves:
– What are the best companies in this sphere?
– Are they focused only on making 3D videos?
– What do they say about their own services and how they position themselves?
With all these questions swirling around in our heads, we quickly understood one thing: we have to do research. As we always do 🙂 Thus, we have seen hundreds of companies, looked at their videos and received lots of answers. And we are ready to share it with you! So, let’s take a look at the 30 best 3D companies and learn everything important about them. Starting now!

Summary
- 3D animation still is one of the best tools when it comes to shaping visual statements. It is extremely eloquent, it conveys emotions incredibly well, and its expressive abilities are exceeding many other animation styles. No wonder it has become a trending format.
- We have listed a variety of studios and not every one of them was in any way similar to the other. As we see, many companies focus entirely on animation, but there are those that work in many video production spheres.
- 3D animation could cover very different purposes – many companies from this list produce explainers, but even more provide design-driven videos that are better to use for minimalistic spheres – eco-friendly startups, for example.
- The ability to both portray exactly some sphere and use visual metaphors to convey its connotations and hidden meanings make this tool inarguably among the best ones.
