Xinas BV

What Xinas BV does

Xinas BV is a Dutch creative design and visualization studio founded in 2014, headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands. The studio specializes in 3D computer graphics, 2D motion graphics, and Virtual Reality content creation, with a distinctive niche in historically accurate archaeological reconstruction through a long-term partnership with The Missing Link consultancy. Its service portfolio spans 3D character animation, architectural and product visualization, 360 panoramic imaging, VR applications for museums and heritage sites (delivered via Unity on iOS, Android, and Oculus platforms), real estate marketing brochures, educational animation, and brand design services.

The company operates a project-based B2B professional services model, charging custom quotes per engagement across clients in heritage/museums, media/broadcasting (e.g., VPRO), real estate, municipalities, agriculture, and retail. Distribution occurs through direct client engagement, with select VR heritage applications also distributed via iOS App Store and Google Play. The studio's underlying technology stack relies on industry-standard 3D CG tools, Unity for VR, and 360-degree panoramic imaging rather than proprietary platforms, but its accumulated content library — particularly the TimeTravel heritage series covering Roman Limes sites and historical Dutch locations — represents a reusable knowledge asset. In January 2025, Xinas merged with VizVis, a fellow animation studio specializing in 3D character animation, combining under the Xinas brand to broaden capabilities into games, entertainment, and interactive character work.
