method

Your preferred method for constructing the animation?

All clients are assigned a Project Manager who will overview the project from inception to completion. Constructing the animation begins with the collection of information and selected assets from the client. Any reference photos, print material, CAD files - STL format - and current animation all aid our artists in the creation of the assets. All our animation is browser-based, ensuring maximum access over the Internet.

Anatomic model development

Where possibile Magnifi will utilize one of its existing anatomical models as a starting point for an animation. If these are not available, Magnifi will purchase or create the models. If a quality model can be purchased for a project Magnifi will often use these purchased resources to optimize production time. If an adequate model cannot be found, or if the client has specific needs, the Magnifi artist team employs book, online references as well as the resources gathered from the client to create the models. The models are built by Magnifi and are carefully crafted to extreme standards.

Instrument modeling

Instrument modeling is performed by using the CAD files as a template. The instruments are placed in the background, allowing the artists to create a low polygon version of the device. It is important that the model be low polygon to ensure maximum performance and short load times. Working from CAD files and having physical samples onsite enables Magnifi to create instrumentation that is 100% ergonomically correct.
