What Industrial3D does

Industrial3D is a privately held, project-based 3D animation and immersive media studio headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with four regional offices in Houston, Dallas, and New Orleans. Founded in 2005 by Beau Brown, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with prior oilfield drilling contractor experience, the firm delivers custom 3D animation, VR/AR applications, touchscreen interactives, trade show media, training animations, corporate branding, web design, and legal animations (via its wholly-owned LawFX subsidiary). Its work product is grounded in industrial sectors - oil and gas, manufacturing, engineering, aerospace, medical, legal, and corporate - with an explicit CAD-to-animation pipeline that converts engineering drawings and CAD files into optimized 3D models.

The core technology stack consists of industry-standard 3D and game-engine tools - Unity, Unreal Engine, Autodesk Maya, Blender, Cinema 4D - combined with proprietary workflows that translate CAD files and engineering designs into operationally faithful, photorealistic renders. Deliverables include product demonstrations, technical walkthroughs, equipment-operation training modules, immersive VR training environments, AR overlays for sales and trade shows, and litigation graphics. Differentiated capabilities center on technical accuracy and CAD interoperability rather than algorithmically novel methods.

Industrial3D operates a consultative enterprise sales motion with four regional offices enabling face-to-face discovery, complemented by remote collaboration for international clients. Pricing is quote-based, project-specific, and delivered through free-quote contact forms, email, and phone. The company produces custom work on per-project timelines ranging from weeks (simple product animations) to several months (complex industrial processes or VR applications). Revenue, headcount, and customer concentration figures are not publicly disclosed; the firm is founder-owned with no institutional investors or parent company identified.

Direct peers

• Ghost Productions: Ghost Productions is a medical and scientific 3D animation studio producing device demonstrations, mechanism-of-action, and surgical procedure animations. Closely comparable to Industrial3D's medical animation work (DeVille, iCurve) and to its 3D product/explainer animation pipeline.
• Inhance Digital: Inhance Digital (formerly XVIVO Scientific Animation) is a 3D animation studio producing scientific, medical, and industrial explainers for enterprise clients. Directly comparable to Industrial3D's 3D product/explainer animation services for engineering and life sciences customers, with overlapping CAD-aware workflows.
• Hybrid Medical Animation: Hybrid Medical Animation produces high-end scientific and medical 3D animations for life sciences, medical device, and biotech clients. Directly comparable along modality (photorealistic 3D animation), end market (industrial/medical), and project-based professional services delivery.
• Talespin: Talespin is a VR training and immersive learning platform for enterprise soft-skills and operational upskilling. Overlaps with Industrial3D's VR/AR industrial training applications (e.g., DuPont STRATCO VR training) as both deliver immersive 3D experiences to corporate learners.

Emerging players

• Demo Duck: Demo Duck is a creative animation studio producing explainer videos, product demos, and product launch animations for B2B brands. Comparable to Industrial3D's explainer animation work but oriented to a broader commercial (non-industrial) client base.
• Interplay Learning: Interplay Learning is a VR-based training provider for skilled trades, manufacturing, and equipment operators. Comparable to Industrial3D's industrial VR training offering, though Interplay operates a packaged learning platform whereas Industrial3D sells custom immersive content.
• BioDigital: BioDigital is a 3D simulation and visualization platform for human anatomy and medical/healthcare education. Overlaps with Industrial3D's medical animation segment (e.g., surgical compactor, catheter visualizations) by serving enterprise medical/industrial training with interactive 3D content.
• Yum Yum Videos: Yum Yum Videos is an animated explainer video studio serving SaaS, fintech, and B2B brands. Comparable to Industrial3D's marketing/explainer animation services in delivery model (project-based animated video production), though it focuses on horizontal SaaS and startup markets rather than industrial verticals.

Broad incumbents

• The Third Floor: The Third Floor is a previsualization, VFX, and real-time visualization studio serving film, streaming, and enterprise clients globally. Comparable as a large-scale animation/visualization incumbent overlapping Industrial3D's real-time rendering and immersive design services.
