Animation Illuminates Science
Let us visualize your technology. We are an award-winning visual science agency that combines 3D animation, multimedia and scientific knowledge to meet your communication needs. With our academic background in the fields of biotechnology and molecular cell biology and our computer expertise we provide cutting edge 3D animation film productions for even the most complex projects. We translate complex scientific information into comprehensible artistic imagery in order to improve communication in the life sciences. Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding the possibilities for your unique project.
What we do
Cortical Studios is specialized in the design, production and implementation of custom high-end biomedical 3D animations and illustrations for video, broadcast, print, and interactive multimedia. Whether you want an animation of drug interaction or an anatomical illustration of a virus particle, we have the in-depth scientific knowledge to translate the information into a stylish understandable visual message.
We offer a wide scala of services, but have a focus on illuminating the mode of action of a certain drug or therapy with so-called Mechanism of Action (MoA) 3D animations and also specifically explaining how normal physiology develops in a disease with so-called Mechanism of Disease (MoD) 3D animations. The 3D environments in these explainations are often on an anatomical, cellular and molecular level, showing how each of them work closely together in a disease and a corresponding treatment.
Our animations can be used for symposia, mailings, congresses, refresher courses, presentations, student material, and interactive purposes. For example, the animations can be integrated into electronic detail aids for drug representatives. By means of a laptop, comprehensive product information is brought to life with stunning 3D animation, animated schemes, illustrations, research data, and digital video. The animations provide compelling clarity, great originality and a high impact, while the USPs of the drug are emphasized.
Besides the elucidation of your products, the use of our animations will also help to convey a high tech innovative company image. A short animation with a voice-over will contain all the information necessary to instruct your audience - no more switching between figures and text. We make use of the educational possibilities interactive multimedia can bring to science acquisition. Full implementation of the 3D animations into interactive Apps and websites is part of our services.
We stay involved with the client every step of the process of translating the concept into a comprehensible visual message. Working closely with you, we will research your project, consult with experts, illustrate storyboards, develop a wireframe motion study, create the final detailed animation and integrate it into the medium you desire. We customize the animation for the potential clients, adjusting the amount of complexity for the instruction of medical specialists, physicians, chemists, patients, students or the general public.
Animation
The ability to produce 3D animations, which are crystal clear for communication purposes as well as stylish in their appearance, enables us to create leading edge digital solutions for your company. Cortical Studios customizes 3D animations to meet your unique requirements. Following are some examples to illustrate the possibilities of our animation studio. We can visualize how your medicine used in the treatment of depression, schizophrenia, insomnia, or anxiety exert their effects on chemical synapses. The animation could elucidate how the patterns of action potentials along the plasma membranes of neurons are restored which results in a normal functioning nervous system. We can animate the implantation of a hip prosthesis which is often carried out when a hip joint is damaged by osteoarthritis, by articular rheumatism or as a consequence of a hip fracture. We can present your innovative therapeutics for the treatment of cancer by animating the molecular and cellular action of the drug at the site of the tumor. The drug could for example attach to a receptor of the tumorcell surface which subsequently leads to the initiation of a cascade that destroys the metastatic cell.
Our professional multi-platform animation studio, equipped with the latest rendering hardware and 2D/3D software, is versatile enough to make the transition to and from all kinds of projects. Houdini, the most complete and flexible software solution for 3D graphics and animation, allows us to realise everything, from simple graphics for web sites to incredibly detailed organic environments for high resolution projections.
Illustrations
Our highend 3D illustrations can be used for both electronic and printing applications, such as physician advertisements, scientific magazines, chemist brochures, and educational books. Using software packages, including Houdini and Maya, our illustrators craft the all important visual components of your project. We analyze the purpose of the illustration and present it in the most effective manner.
We offer our clients the economical possibility to reuse their former illustration and animation material. The use of our animation studio and electronic library of 3D work gives us also the possibility to refresh an old concept by using new textures, a different camera angle, and enhanced models. Our digital graphics provide the flexibility to reproduce for any type of medium you need or to update a still usable concept with fresh visuals.
