About Us (Where Technology Meets Technique) Founded in 2003, 3Dar serves an international client base including agencies, corporations, feature film producers, and more worldwide. 3Dar’s many creative brains combine technical expertise with creative direction to transform technical challenges into design achievements, achieving success for clients no matter what their goals. 3Dar strives to create harmony and structure in communication as well as technology. Our studio is consistently focused on excellence from concept to design, from technology to technique. As the tools and technologies for 3D animation, effects, and production continue to evolve, this means our creative possibilities at 3Dar on behalf of our clients are also constantly expanding and evolving. We work on a daily basis to harness those technologies so that the very latest approaches benefit our clients in every way, resulting in faster accomplishments, shorter rendering times, and more. Our artists are constantly pushing the envelope, exploring new training, technologies and approaches, and the results show in our work – as well as in our ability to develop our leadership in the creation of interactive solutions for corporations, advertising agencies, architects or builders, and more. We believe in 3D animation as an art form, and as a tool to express your goals, project, business or product. Our technical tools mean that virtual realism is possible, while our creative team adds the spark that makes it magic. Work Methodology: Planning & Execution The 3Dar group is comprised of a select, hand-picked team of accomplished artists, technicians, and professionals who understand the art and science of effects, and how to create them in a variety of capacities, whether for a local spot, or for a global ad campaign. From character design and set development, to modeling, shading, rigging, and more, 3Dar has the tools and talent to get it done. Planning At 3Dar, the process begins as our creative team works with the client to visualize and express the core concept. Our VFX team then presents a scripted approach, together with an aesthetic visual reference to shape the look and feel of the final product. Once the concept reflects the client’s needs and achieves approval, we elaborate, invent, and evolve from the original script and sketch to conceptualize a master image to our client's specifications. We then generate a storyboard, dividing the project into particular components to maximize efficiency by our creative artists and team members. We then work with the client to schedule work phases and deadlines, as well as the final deadline on the project. Execution During the early stages of preproduction, a technical script emerges to ensure that every detail has been addressed and planned for. The technical script encompasses everything from action, to shot, lens, lighting, camera and character direction, all meticulously outlined. Organizing, communicating and troubleshooting before any filming or production begins saves valuable time and money and assures a successful shoot from start to finish. On post-production, once the process of generating 3D material has begun, we deliver static images for initial visual and aesthetic approval, following the technical specs and storyboarding originally approved by the client. During the entire process, we work to ensure consistent and clear communication and approval from the client to ensure their satisfaction at every stage of the project’s evolution. The Final Touches The next stage consists of previewing the footage in motion, via an animated wire frame movie presentation followed by a half-resolution screening, to guarantee camera direction, and to ensure that we’re structuring the project in a way that meets the client’s expectations. Last but not least, the final stage is the delivery of the final product in high quality for the final review, feedback and revision as needed. This ensures quality control, and that accurate information and aesthetics are presented to the client, whether builder, agency, corporation, or production house. At 3Dar, the integrity of our work is a match for the integrity of our communication process. We work closely with our clients to ensure that our communication is as fluid as the tours we create. We’re here to meet challenges and bring the visions of our clients to fluid digital life. Our process ensures that commitment at every step. Try us.
