How to tell stories with animated characters
Use movement to empower your design stories
Create a connection
Animated characters do more than add dynamism to renders. They have the power to turn ordinary scenes into compelling narratives, deepening the emotional impact and creating a stronger connection between a design and its audience.
Including human figures in your renders – especially animated ones – is a simple way of making them more engaging and relatable, allowing viewers to experience your designs on a more personal level.
In this guide, we highlight some of the benefits of using animated characters in your architectural, landscape, urban, and interior design renders, and offer some handy tips on how to improve your visual storytelling.
