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.
