XO3D Studio · Industry

Automotive & Mobility CGI.

XO3D applies the cinematic language of a premium automotive reveal to every vehicle and mobility product that deserves it.

Selected clients

Sony work via ImageNova. Ferrari and Burberry work via KCD.

Overview

Premium vehicle advertising sets a demanding visual benchmark.

Premium vehicle advertising has trained viewers to expect deliberate camera choreography, controlled light and convincing materials. A vehicle, whether a luxury SUV or an electric scooter, will be judged against that standard whether the brand intends it or not.

XO3D's published mobility work is micro-mobility: the Flash Motors Infinity X electric scooter and its controller. The scooter film was directed as a premium vehicle reveal, with deliberate camera moves, careful materials and light that serves the product's character. Other vehicle briefs are scoped individually. See how our Product CGI Films service applies this cinematic approach across categories.

Featured Work

Flash Motors, Electric Scooter Launch.

The Flash Motors launch film for CES 2024. It opens on the Flash Motors logo, moves through close views of the handlebar stem, wheels, battery housing and suspension, shows the scooter in black and in yellow, and ends on two scooters beside the logo.

Case Study · Micro-Mobility

Flash Motors needed launch films for its Infinity X off-road electric scooter at CES 2024. XO3D treated the scooter as a premium vehicle reveal rather than a product demonstration. The visual approach drew on the cinematic language of luxury vehicle launches: low angles, dramatic exterior light, dynamic camera choreography. Winner, Animation (Advertising & Marketing), 2024 Web Excellence Awards, for the Flash Motors scooter film.

The case study lists two product animations for CES 2024, colourway variants in Yellow, Mint, Green and Black, close-up cuts of the handlebars, wheels and logo, and a laptop mock-up. See the Flash Motors launch.

The engineering story

From product reveal to mechanism detail.

A three-second clip from the Infinity X controller film: the casing opens and the circuit board and small components separate from it. It is a marketing visual, not an engineering drawing or a repair sequence.

A launch film sells the stance and finish. Some buyers also need to see what is inside. For Flash Motors, the scooter's controller had its own film alongside the scooter launch: hero rotations, macro close-ups of the materials and exploded views of the housing and circuit board.

Moving from the whole vehicle to one mechanism needs a source that shows the parts. On a brief like this, the client's engineers should decide what each sequence may show and what is simplified. That review is a project requirement, not a certification of how the part performs.

Deliverables and proof

One product, several launch assets.

A mobility launch usually needs more than one kind of asset. Each row below links to published XO3D work that shows it. The formats, rights and scope for your own launch are agreed in the brief.

Multi-angle exterior renders showing paint finish, panel lines and design detail. Resolution and print sizes are agreed at brief.

Mechanism & Technical

How it works, visually

Exploded views and mechanism sequences, such as the Infinity X controller opening to show its circuit board, for technical sales material and presentations.

FAQ

Automotive & mobility CGI questions.

Do you work on full-size vehicles as well as micro-mobility?
Our published mobility work is micro-mobility: the Flash Motors Infinity X electric scooter and its controller. Other vehicle briefs, including full-size vehicles, are scoped individually against the CAD or design data available. Tell us what the product is and what source you have.
Can you match the CGI quality of premium automotive brands?
Premium vehicle advertising is the reference we direct towards. The Flash Motors scooter film shows that approach on a micro-mobility product: low angles, controlled light and a deliberate reveal. Judge the published films and stills in the Flash Motors and Infinity X case studies against your own references.
