Product animation · Minnesota
Show what makes your product work.
A photograph shows the outside. A product animation can reveal an assembly, follow a process and explain a feature in motion. Pine Atlas Group creates focused 3D product videos for product pages, sales presentations and trade-show screens.
Start with one product and one useful story
Choose the feature or sequence your audience needs to understand: how the parts fit together, how a mechanism moves, or how someone uses the product. A short, clearly scoped animation gives you an asset to put in front of customers before committing to a larger collection.
A concrete starting scope
New-client starter animations start at $250 for one simple product, one scene and up to 10 seconds, subject to reference review. Fuller projects start at $500 before tax. The instant estimator gives a rounded budget range for one product, up to three scenes and one revision round. Short, medium and long options are 30, 60 and 90 seconds. Your selected components, materials and deliverables affect the range. Additional scenes or special requirements need a detailed quote. We review your files and agree on a fixed price before work begins.
What to provide
A product link, photographs or drawings, useful dimensions, and an explanation of the important steps help establish the brief. Existing CAD can reduce modeling work, but it still needs a compatibility and preparation review. You confirm product geometry and technical behavior; the animation explains the agreed information rather than certifying an engineering design.
A reusable asset
An agreed 3D model can support a video, product stills, presentation slides and an interactive demonstration. Shared model preparation is counted once when formats are combined. Final video formats, additional crops, source assets and usage rights are listed in the written proposal.
Our original demonstration
The pencil example shows materials forming a core, a wooden casing and eraser coming together, sharpening, and writing. It is an original demonstration of our process, with simplified material transitions—not a customer project or a literal manufacturing simulation.

Can you work without a 3D model?
Yes. Photos, drawings and dimensions can be the starting point for a scoped model. Supplied CAD and production-ready models are reviewed before their preparation cost is confirmed.
What needs a custom review?
Projects with more than 15 distinct components, highly complex geometry or coordinated motion, and specialist simulations need a custom review before pricing. Large assemblies are not automatically accepted or priced by the calculator.
