3D ANIMATION STUDIO · SINGAPORE
3D Animation, from the
microscopic to the monumental
3D animation is content built in three dimensions, used for two different jobs: explaining something that can't be shown any other way (a device, a molecule, a mechanism) with technical accuracy, or turning a live moment into large-format spectacle. Triken has been building both for over ten years and 400+ projects. 3D animation projects typically cost SGD 10,000 to SGD 30,000, with most projects landing around SGD 20,000.

We build 3D that explains complex products with precision, and 3D that turns events into spectacle. Ten years, across healthcare, enterprise, and large-format live experiences.
Two kinds of 3D, one studio
Some 3D exists to make something understood, a device, a molecule, a system. Some 3D exists to make something unforgettable, a launch, a stage, a building-sized projection. We do both, and the craft that makes one accurate is the craft that makes the other land.
3D FOR EVENTS & LARGE-FORMAT
3D that turns a moment into a spectacle
Projection mapping, holographic displays, and large-format visuals built for launches, stages, and live audiences, designed to read at scale and hold a room.
3D FOR EXPLANATION
3D that makes the invisible clear
When something can't be filmed, a mechanism, an anatomy, a process, we build it in 3D with the accuracy the subject demands and the clarity the audience needs.
What does the 3D production process look like?
Every 3D project runs through the same core stages: discovery to lock what needs explaining or the scale of the moment, storyboard or previz for sign-off, build, and delivery, with large-format work adding an on-site installation and testing phase before the event date.
01
Discovery
Clinical docs and specs, or a venue survey and the space itself.
02
Storyboard / previz
Signed off before anything is built at full scale.
03
Build
3D, motion design, or hybrid, to the approved plan.
04
Delivery / install
Final render, or on-site install and testing before the event date.
Either way, nothing gets built at full scale until the plan underneath it is signed off.
How much does 3D animation cost, and what drives the price?
3D animation projects typically cost SGD 10,000 to SGD 30,000, with most projects landing around SGD 20,000. The final price depends on 3D complexity, number of scenes, finished length, asset creation, and the number of review cycles.
SGD 10,000 - 30,000
Typical project range
~ SGD 20,000
Where most product, explainer & medical 3D lands
Large-format event work, projection mapping, holographic installs, arena graphics, is scoped individually against venue, hardware, and installation days, and can run well beyond this range depending on scale. Highly complex explanation work can too.
What moves the price within any category: how much needs to be modelled from scratch versus adapted, how technically demanding the accuracy requirement is, and how many review or rehearsal cycles the piece passes through before it ships or goes live.
Do you use AI in 3D animation?
Where it fits, and not where it doesn't. AI speeds up early exploration, style frames, and pre-visualisation for both explanation and event work, and helps with background or generic elements that would otherwise be stock footage.
WHERE AI FITS
-
Early exploration and animatics
-
Style frames and mood boards
-
Pre-visualisation for event and venue work
WHERE IT DOESN'T
-
Early exploration and animatics
-
Style frames and mood boards
-
Pre-visualisation for event and venue work
The judgment isn't picking AI or not, it's knowing which part of a given project needs which approach, and being honest with you about it.
How long does a 3D project take, start to finish?
A typical 3D explainer runs six to ten weeks from brief to final delivery, depending on revisions and the level of technical detail involved. Large-format event work runs against a fixed date rather than a fixed duration, the event doesn't move, so the schedule works backward from it.
Installation and on-site testing usually need several days locked in before the event itself, and that window gets protected in the schedule from the start rather than squeezed in at the end.
What do you need to have ready before we start?
For explanation work: existing technical documentation, reference images or specs, and access to whoever owns the science or engineering internally. For event work: the venue details, the date, and whatever's already locked about the stage or space.
-
Technical documentation, specs, or reference imagery
-
Venue and date, for event or large-format work
-
Someone internally who owns the science, engineering, or event brief
Either way, a short Product Story Mapping Session maps out what the animation or installation needs to communicate before any 3D work begins.
If the piece needs narration, you don't need a script or a voiceover artist ready either. Scripting and voiceover are part of the service for explanation work, we write it during discovery and cast a professional voice to match. Event and large-format pieces are usually visual-only, but we can build in narration or an MC script if the brief calls for it.

Trusted by teams across healthcare, tech, and enterprise
400+ projects delivered, over ten years
Eva Tan, Chief Commercial Officer
ixBiopharma
“The team handled execution with clarity and precision, and every review round showed strong progress. The final video aligned closely with our original brief.”
Tony Tu, Senior Research Fellow
National Neuroscience Institute
“The scientific animation was delivered professionally, with the team handling feedback efficiently and remaining flexible throughout the process. Responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with throughout.”
Qi Zeng, Professor & Research Director
Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), A*STAR
“The video helped our potential investors understand the project much more clearly. It was a positive experience working with Triken Studios, and I would be happy to collaborate again in the future.“
