Houston industrial animation studio
Industrial Animation for Equipment, Systems and Processes
Engineering-accurate 3D animation built from your CAD and data, for sales, training and investor decisions where the inside of the machine can’t be filmed.
- Built from your CAD files, drawings and test data
- Reviewed with your engineers, not just your marketing team
- Over 25 years of industrial 3D: oil & gas, drilling, flow and equipment

What is industrial animation?
We make the invisible visible
Industrial animation is engineering-accurate 3D animation that shows how equipment, systems and processes work, including internal flow, pressure and failure modes that a camera can’t capture.
We work directly with engineers, using real data, CAD and technical documentation, so every animation is accurate, credible and built to withstand technical scrutiny. Industrial teams use our work to sell faster, train more effectively and explain processes that can’t be filmed.

What we animate
Industrial animation for every stage of your equipment’s life
Five ways engineering, sales and training teams use our work. Click any video to watch the real project.
Project: Sensia QRATE HCC2 controller launch
Product demonstration
Product demonstration animation
Show how a product works before it’s built or shipped: machines assembling themselves, exploded views and mechanisms moving step by step.
- Exploded views of components
- Product operating in a realistic environment
- Launches, investor decks and trade shows
Internal cutaways
Cutaway animation for pumps, valves and engines
Reveal what happens inside sealed equipment: transparent housings, cross-sections and valves opening and closing under load.
- Cutaway of a pump or valve showing flow
- Cross-sections of moving parts
- Procedure and maintenance steps
Project: RS Clare: frac valve greasing procedure
Project: Liquid Casing: wellbore strengthening explainer
Fluid & particle simulation
Fluid, flow and particle simulation animation
Make pressure, flow and particle behavior visible, from fluid moving through pipes to microscopic reactions in the formation.
- Oil & gas flow and pressure
- Filtration and particle processes
- Chemical and microscopic reactions
Facility & environment
Facility and plant walkthrough animation
Explain large sites, construction phasing and logistics in one clear view, before anything is built.
- Entire facility flythroughs
- Equipment placement and layout
- Construction phasing and safety
Project: WaterWorksX: treatment facility walkthrough
Project: Metrix: internal sensor installation
Installation & maintenance
Installation, maintenance and training animation
Cut support calls and training time with step-by-step procedures your field teams can follow.
- Step-by-step installation
- Disassembly and component replacement
- Service manuals and safety procedures

Why it pays back
One 3D model. Every format you need.
We build your equipment once, accurately, then reuse it across sales video, still renders, VR training and interactive 3D. You pay for the model once, not for every deliverable.
Animation video
Sales, trade show and explainer cuts in 4K, from 30-second loops to full technical walkthroughs.
Still renders
Photoreal product and cutaway stills for brochures, data sheets and proposals.
VR safety training
Put crews inside the equipment for safety and procedure training without shutting a site down.
Interactive 3D
Web configurators and pixel-streamed demos your sales team can drive live.
How it works
From CAD to final render
A clear, engineer-friendly process with approval points before every costly step.
01
Scope call
We confirm the audience, where the animation will be used and its length.
02
You send data
CAD (native or STEP/IGES), drawings, P&IDs, test data or existing footage.
03
Storyboard & animatic
Your engineers approve the motion and sequence before anything is rendered.
04
Animation & review
We build materials, lighting and motion, with structured review rounds.
05
Delivery
4K masters plus cut-downs for web, trade show, sales and training.
Why engineering teams choose Immix

Industrial animation is engineering-accurate 3D animation that explains how equipment, systems and processes work. It shows internal components, flow, pressure and failure modes that are impossible or unsafe to film, and is used for sales, training, investor and engineering communication.
Whatever you have: CAD files (native or STEP/IGES), drawings, P&IDs, data sheets or photos of the equipment. If CAD isn’t available, we can model from drawings and reference images.
We build from your engineering data and review motion and sequences with your technical team at the storyboard and animatic stages, before final rendering, so the result holds up to engineer scrutiny.
Every project is quoted to scope. The main cost drivers are model complexity, length and number of scenes, render style, the number of review rounds and the formats you need. Tell us about the project and we will send a scoped quote.
Yes. We build VR safety training, interactive web 3D and pixel-streamed experiences from the same model, so the investment carries across sales, training and marketing.
Yes. We are headquartered in Houston and work with industrial clients across the United States. Reviews and approvals run remotely, with on-site visits when a project needs them.
