Frequently asked questions
About 3D, animation, collaboration and getting started.
What does Axes do?
We create 3D visualisations and animations for products, architecture, property and ideas. We also help you choose the visual approach that fits your purpose.
Can you visualise a product that does not exist yet?
Yes. A design, CAD model, technical drawing, sketch or prototype can be the starting point.
What do I need to provide?
For buildings, drawings and material information are useful. For products, CAD files, dimensions, drawings or samples help. Reference images or a moodboard can also be a starting point.
Do I need a complete 3D model?
No. We can often use an existing model, or build one from the information available.
Can I follow progress during production?
Yes. Previews and agreed review stages let you assess the model, composition, materials and atmosphere.
How long does a project take?
That depends on the complexity, number of images and available input. After reviewing the brief, we agree a realistic schedule.
How much does a visualisation cost?
Each project receives a tailored quote based on the modelling, images, animation and intended use. Additional work and costs are discussed in advance.
How do you use AI?
AI complements our 3D workflow where it adds value. Axes retains creative direction; a strong 3D foundation helps maintain control and consistency.
Can a product be interactive in the browser?
Yes. Web 3D lets visitors rotate and zoom into a model. Existing models can often be prepared and optimised for this use.
Do you collaborate with agencies?
Yes. We regularly work with advertising, marketing, communication and design studios as their specialist 3D partner.
Have a product, project or idea in mind?
Start with your idea and how you want to use the images. A sketch, CAD model or reference helps; you do not need a complete brief.
