We have a great deal of experience in creating everything from simple fly-by animations to complex process videos that include voice overs and music. Whether you have an idea sketched out on a napkin or a complete 3D assembly, we can work with you to make your designs come to life. Showing an animation of your product to your client is an extremely powerful tool to help your company win business by setting you apart from your competition.
Product Showcase Animation Example: (1920x1080p)
Hiring a photographer to catalog your products can be expensive, time consuming, and sometimes impractical. We can take your 3D models and turn them into photorealistic images or animations.

Disassembly/Assembly Example: (1920x452p)
Showing how a product is disassembled and then assembled is a powerful tool especially when you want to show how a part is replaced or you what to highlight a part that can’t be shown via a virtual “hammer break”.

Mechanical Operation Example: (1920x1080p)
Many companies have embraced 3D modeling and the digital prototyping workflow; so creating high-definition animations of mechanical operations are simple compared to having a full-size functional prototype built. The concept design below is of a hydraulic chock system to prevent any movement of railroad cars in order to keep workers safe.

Presentation Introduction: (1920x1080p)
Having a captivating introduction for your presentation can be a great way of grabbing the attention of your audience. Keeping it is a whole other story. This intro video includes a musical track and was part of the same project as the “Decommissioning and Dismantling Example” as shown below.

Decommissioning and Dismantling Example: (1920x1080p)
This was our first animation project showing the decommissioning of a nuclear power plant unit. The entire animation lasted over 16 minutes, was comprised of 45 different rendered segments, it had a musical background, and text overlay.

Process Animation Example: (1920x720p)
Very few processes can be shown in real-time, mainly because the materials required are not transparent or cannot even be seen with the human eye. Using 2D & 3D modeling techniques, we are able to convey both the intent and the functionality.

Movement and Clearance Study Example: (1920x1080p)
Using Autodesk Inventor's ability to detect interference along with scan data, field dimensions, and original drawings, we were able to develop and verify a sequence where the new reactor head could be moved through the reactor building for installation.
Note: This example is played at 2x the original speed and the installation notes and polar crane data have been removed.

Customer Testimonials
"We originally approached MESA to provide 3D animation services for the design, construction, and marketing of a prototype crane several years ago. The dedicated individual that worked with us not only helped maintain continuity over the course of the project, but he developed a strong relationship with our team and continually demonstrated a genuine interest in making sure we were successful. The animations were extremely helpful in working through some of the complex design interface challenges, as well as providing a visual representation of assembly requirements and operational capabilities for our field personnel and customer. We continue to rely on MESA for animation support, and with each new challenge they take the time to understand our needs, determine the best way to address those needs, and deliver a high quality, cost effective, product."

“American Mine Research recently worked with MESA on the simulation of AMR’s products in an underground coal mine. The quality of their work along with the affordable price was outstanding. MESA took the time to learn about the products and how they worked. Every aspect from the look to the sound was spot on. AMR will definitely work with MESA again to develop trade show worthy material.”
