Bring Your LEGO Designs To Life with Dynamic Animations

Specialized Animation Services

I create high-quality animated renders of LEGO models using BrickLink Studio, focusing on three distinct animation styles:

360° Model Revolving

Showcase every angle of your LEGO creation with smooth revolving animations that highlight the complete design from all perspectives.

Build Sequence Animations

Visualize the construction process with two impressive options:

• Appearing Bricks - Watch as each piece materializes in sequence to form your complete model
• Falling Bricks - See parts drop into place in a satisfying build-up animation

Combination Animations

Get the best of both worlds with custom animations that combine revolving views with build sequences for truly engaging presentations.

Why Choose My Service?

• BrickLink Studio Expert - Specialized knowledge of Studio's animation and rendering tools
• Attention to Detail - Perfect lighting, timing, and camera movements
• High Resolution - Videos delivered in crisp, high-definition formats
• Custom Options - Background choices and animation speed tailored to your needs

Pricing

Pricing Structure

I price renders based on type, length, resolution, quality, and frame rate. Higher settings require more rendering time.

Animation Base Rates (1080p, 24fps)

• Basic Quality: $5 per second of animation
• Standard Quality: $8 per second of animation (2x rendering time)
• Premium Quality: $15 per second of animation (4x rendering time)

Animation 4K Ultra HD (2160p, 24fps)

• Basic Quality: $20 per second of animation (4x 1080p rendering time)
• Standard Quality: $32 per second of animation (8x 1080p rendering time)
• Premium Quality: $60 per second of animation (16x 1080p rendering time)

Frame Rate Multipliers

• 24fps: Base rate (included in prices above)
• 30fps: Add 25% to base price
• 60fps: Add 200% to base price

Still Image Renders (2160p only)

• Basic Quality: $25 per image
• Standard Quality: $40 per image
• Premium Quality: $75 per image

Example Packages

FAQ

Q: Do I need to have a completed model?
A: Yes, I need a finished model in BrickLink Studio format to create renders.

Q: What file formats do you deliver?
A: Animations are delivered as high-quality MP4 files. Still images are provided in PNG and JPG formats.

Q: How long will my animation be?
A: Standard animations range from 10-60 seconds depending on the package, but custom lengths can be accommodated, it is up to you.

Q: What frame rate should I choose?
A: 24fps provides a cinematic look suitable for most projects. 30fps offers smoother motion for detailed animations. 60fps gives ultra-smooth results ideal for detailed mechanical movements but significantly increases cost and rendering time.

Q: How complex can the models be?
A: I can render models of any complexity, though very large models may affect pricing.

Q: Can I use the renders commercially?
A: Yes, you retain all rights to the renders of your models for any purpose.

Q: Do you offer still renders in 1080p?
A: I currently only offer still renders in 2160p (4K) for maximum detail and quality.
