Dart Frog Creative, CGI, Rendering, Animation

Dart Frog Creative, based in Grand Rapids, builds custom 3D and animated content that helps brands engage customers, excite prospects, and grow audiences. The starting point for nearly every project is a product's geometry file, which the studio uses as the single source for composites, sweeps, cut-aways, and animations rather than rebuilding assets from scratch for each deliverable.

The service list runs from rendering and animation through product 360s, product sweeps, environmental product cut-aways, and technical renderings, extending into augmented reality and virtual reality builds. Partnerships supplement in-house capability so a piece can move from concept to finished asset as one cohesive production rather than a set of disconnected outputs.

Producers track each asset as it moves through the pipeline, giving clients visibility into where a project stands rather than a black-box handoff. Work sessions happen over Google Meet, and finished files move through WeTransfer Plus or a straightforward FTP setup, keeping the exchange of large render and animation files uncomplicated for teams working remotely with the studio.
