What You Need to Start a Project with Simdesigns

1. Idea or Objective

• What would you like to create? (e.g. 3D visualization, animation, motion design, branding)

• What is the goal of the project? (e.g. promote a product, build brand identity, explain something)

2. Short Brief or Initial Notes

A fully developed concept isn’t required – a few key points are enough:

• Who is your target audience?

• What style are you aiming for? (e.g. modern, clean, playful, technical)

• Are there any references or examples you like?

• Where will the project be used? (Web, social media, trade fairs, print, etc.)

3. Available Materials (optional)

If you already have assets, feel free to share them:

• Logos, brand colors, fonts

• Images, videos, sketches, CAD files

• Texts, slogans, music ideas

4. Timeline

• Is there a deadline or event the project needs to be ready for?

• Are milestones or intermediate approvals desired?

5. Budget Framework (if available)

A rough budget helps to estimate the project scope and develop the best possible solution.

Bonus: What You Don’t Need

• No final concept

• No technical knowledge

• No stress – we’ll develop everything together step by step

If you like, simply send us a short description or your initial ideas – we’ll guide you from concept to final result.
Once you're ready, so are we.

Would you like to start a specific project or schedule a first consultation?

Feel free to submit any type of input files, including hand-drawn sketches, detailed drawings, or mood boards. Providing as much relevant information and materials as possible will help achieve the best results in the workflow and for our project. Every bit of detail you share makes a difference!

  Let's create something extraordinary together.

The duration of a project at Simdesigns varies depending on the project size and complexity. Here are some key factors:

1. Project Size and Complexity

   • Smaller projects (e.g., 3D visualizations, short animations) generally take less time.

   • Larger projects (e.g., complex animations, full branding campaigns) usually take more time.

2. Milestones
   A typical project at Simdesigns follows a structured process with clear milestones:

   • Kick-off / Briefing: Clarifying goals and requirements.

   • Concept Development: Initial drafts, mood boards, or style frames.

   • Mid-presentation: Presenting early results for feedback.

   • Production: Full implementation of the content (e.g., animation, 3D models).

   • Final Approval & Delivery: Final review and handover of the project.

3. Bottlenecks
   Potential bottlenecks can delay the project timeline:

   • Waiting for Feedback: Delays in client feedback can impact the schedule.

   • Data Availability: Missing or incomplete materials (e.g., 3D models, text, graphics) can delay the start.

   • Technical Challenges: Complex technical requirements or unforeseen issues can take additional time.

4. Availability of Materials

   • Once all necessary resources and data (e.g., logos, CAD files, text content) are provided, the project can move forward more smoothly.

Summary:

The project duration is influenced by milestone-based phases as well as potential bottlenecks. Simdesigns always plans with buffers to ensure the project is completed within the agreed timeline and with the highest quality.

If you'd like to discuss a specific project, we can provide a more precise timeline and address potential bottlenecks directly.

The cost of a project at Simdesigns depends on several key factors – especially the type, scope, and creative/technical complexity. To ensure clarity and transparency, here’s a compact overview:

1. Project Scope & Type

• Smaller Projects
  e.g. simple 3D visualizations, short loop animations for social media, motion graphics
  → lower effort, lower budget range

• Mid to Large-Scale Projects
  e.g. product animations, complex 3D environments, full branding campaigns
  → higher creative input, more production time, broader deliverables

2. What Influences the Price?

• Project Type 3D, Motion Design, Animation, Visualization, Branding, etc.

• Production Effort Concept, modeling, animation, editing, sound design, rendering

• Deliverables Single image? Full animation? Multiple formats or variations?

• Timeline / Deadline Faster turnarounds (express) may involve additional cost

• Existing Assets Clean files, CAD data, moodboards, or clear references help reduce cost

3. Pricing Models

• Fixed Project Fee – ideal for clearly defined scopes

• Hourly or Daily Rate – flexible, for evolving or open-ended projects
