02 — Why Pixeldust
Accurate as well as beautiful.
For more than two decades we have created 3D for Discovery, PBS NOVA, the Smithsonian, HP, Visa and WebMD. Scientists, engineers and brand teams review the work at every stage, so every model, material and movement is right before it reaches the screen.

M. NesvadeLine Producer · Google Review3D animation questions
What can 3D animation show that video can’t?
3D can show what a camera can’t reach: the inside of a product or the body, a building before it’s built, or a process at any scale or speed. It also gives you full control over every angle, light and material.
What software do you use?
Our 3D team works in Unreal Engine, Maya and Houdini; motion graphics in Cinema 4D and After Effects; compositing in Nuke; and texturing in Substance Painter, among others.
How much does a 3D project cost?
It depends on the complexity of the project, but you may be surprised: it’s often less expensive and less complicated than people expect. Tell us what you need and we’ll provide a clear quote.
How long does a 3D project take?
Timelines depend on scope. Once we understand the project, we’ll give you a clear schedule with review points at every stage, and we can move quickly when a launch date is fixed.
