3D Motion Design Reel

3D design services

Storytelling is design powered by empathy. As a 3D motion designer, I help you communicate your brand’s story to connect you to more customers, and investors. Leah Kopke 3D Design, LLC combines knowledge in marketing, industrial design and motion design to bring you content that breaks down barriers and builds bridges. Let’s build together.

If you have an idea or a sketch, I can help bring it to life in 3D with motion. I regard brainstorming, and design thinking as important as striking visuals. I work within Cinema 4D, X-Particles, Taiao, Terraform FX, Mesh Tools, ZBrush, Octane, Unreal Engine, and Redshift. I use After Effects for working in post. I also use Photoshop and Illustrator to support my 3D work inside of Cinema 4D. While inspired by the classics and their wisdom in history, I push the envelope with new technology. 

I’m happy to set up a free consultation to answer any questions you may have about my freelance services. If you have a project in mind, I’m happy to provide a quote for the project. Let’s chat!

Some of the Companies I’ve worked with

Common Questions

I’ve been 3D modeling and rendering since 2014.

I work in Cinema 4D, Redshift, ZBrush, After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator for 3D motion graphics. In have Insydium’s Fused package of plugins for Cinema 4D.

What is your design process for 3D motion graphics?

The first step to any great project begins with listening to my client and learning about their brand. If your company has a design team, I’m flexible and adapt to your company’s process. However if I’m the only designer working on a project, the next step would be to conduct research and assemble mood boards as a design reference. If not already provided storyboards, I’d begin storyboarding. Once the storyboards are approved, I’d begin 3D modeling, lighting, and texturing the scenes for the animation. Rigging and animation are next steps, followed by rendering using a render farm. Final compositing and editing are done in After Effects. My design process in Cinema 4D can be seen on my YouTube channel, Ambient 3D Animations.

How do you usually work with clients? How are you paid?

Every great project begins with us talking so I can learn about your goals and brand. Once I know what is expected for the project, I’ll send an estimate containing the estimated time a project will take and the total cost of a project. I have a day rate and charge for using a render farm. Once the estimate is approved, you can be book me for the number of days you need me for the project. For short projects, I’ll send an invoice once the project is done. Longer term projects will have checkpoints at which I’m paid. I can be paid by check or online.
