Technical Animations Help You Explain Your Case to the Jury

By Tim McGarvey


Professional developers use CGI, which is also referred to as computer generated imagery, to design test and build new products and to market them successfully, especially if they are complex. The use of engineering animations is helpful when trying to explain complex processes, products or events in television and news programming or when a producer needs to explore a "fantasy" concept, such as a what-if scenario.

Complex structures can also be created in 3D, and the resulting engineering animations used to evaluate or investigate mechanical engineering failures or to explain an accident or disaster to jurors in a courtroom. The creation of any kind of mechanical animations or technical animations in CGI requires the use of mathematical, logical sequences to program, which allows products or processes to be built exactly to scale. This allows the artist to create realistic elements using the exact specifications scaled to fit a small screen. This can eliminate errors in design, and reduce costs later on in the prototyping stage. It also allows the 3D artist to model and build processes that cannot be seen by the naked eye, such as medical devices inside the body, or processes happening on a molecular scale.

Information heavy stories for television involving mechanical failures that have caused disasters or accidents can be enhanced with 3D graphics such as these because it helps viewers understand what happened quickly and clearly. When conducting accidents or disasters these 3D animations can also be used for engineering failure analysis. Engineering animations are create using special software, which builds exact replicas of structures or machines and then can be used to look at complex issues such as load distribution or stress evaluations.

Engineering animations covers a broad spectrum, from product and conceptual animations to process animations, training animations, medical devices and processes and architectural and design. Conceptual animations can support product designers as they evaluate product concepts and explain new products to investors, or for internal research and development funding. The costs of developing and manufacturing can be significantly reduced if errors in design are discovered in the 3D development and if everyone involved in the process understands the product in detail.

When Marketing a new product, animations can be used to dissect a product, or show its inner workings and unique features, fully educating the audience. Complex information is easier to explain using visual aids and studies have shown that viewers retain more, especially when 3D animation is used in television shows, training series or when presenting information to a jury.
