3D animations are popular. And that is not surprising, this modern technique has many advantages over other types of animation.

Thanks to the three-dimensional image, a hyper-realistic animation with lots of details can be created. However, this also means that developing a 3D animation is a fairly labor-intensive process, so on average it costs a bit more money than developing other types of animations. Are you considering having a 3D animation developed? In this article, we discuss what you can roughly expect in terms of costs.

What does the average 3D animation cost?
It is not possible to give a straightforward answer to the question of what exactly a 3D animation costs. This is because the price depends on many different factors. However, you can assume that, on average, developing this type of animation costs more than other types of animation. This is because its development is a labor-intensive process that generally involves many hours. On the other hand, the result is a lot more beautiful and professional, so the animations often pay for themselves quickly. If you want to know exactly what the animations will cost you, it is wise to ask for a quotation. That way you won't encounter any surprises and you can compare different agencies with each other if necessary. Usually prices start at around €2,500 per video and can go up to over €10,000 (depending on your specific requirements).

Factors affecting price
Several factors affect the final price. In general, very labor-intensive animations also cost more money, simply because more hours have to be paid out. This means that the length of the movie has a big influence on the final price. Obviously, a 30-second animated movie costs a lot less than a 5-minute animated movie. Furthermore, the complexity of the design affects the price. If you want to have a very complex movie made, it will cost more work (and thus money). The more there is to move in the movie, the higher the price will generally be. And finally, of course, the desired sound affects the price. For example, do you want a professional voice-over? Then that will also cost extra.
