The Making of the Vortex Cube 3D Product Animation
When the innovative minds at Vortex Cube Company envisioned launching their groundbreaking toy, the Vortex Cube, they knew they needed something beyond the ordinary to showcase its unique features. With its cutting-edge digital technology wrapped in a metallic gloss and LED-lit squares that change during gameplay, the Vortex Cube is not just a toy but a revolution in the puzzle game industry. This isn’t merely a new take on the beloved Rubik’s Cube; it’s the first of its kind in 40 years to offer a genuinely fresh user experience.
Understanding the significance of this launch, Vortex Cube Company reached out to Studio Mitchell, known for our expertise in 3D product animation for business, explainer videos, and social media content. They tasked us with creating a product launch animation that would do justice to the Vortex Cube’s innovation and appeal, generating buzz even before its physical production was complete.
The Challenge: Bringing the Vortex Cube to Life
Our challenge was twofold: not only did we need to accurately represent the Vortex Cube’s physical attributes and unique functionalities, but we also had to capture the imagination of potential customers, creating anticipation and excitement for a product they couldn’t yet hold in their hands. Given the cube’s distinctive features – particularly its coloured LED-lit squares that change during the game – we decided that 3D photo-realistic CGI animation was the perfect medium to achieve these goals.
Our Approach: A Teaser 3D Product Animation for Pre-Sales Launch
At Studio Mitchell, we believe in the power of storytelling through animation. For the Vortex Cube, we created an engaging teaser animation that highlights the cube’s unique selling points: its digital technology, the ever-changing LED-lit squares, and the new level of challenge it offers. Our animation team worked meticulously to ensure that every detail, from the cube’s metallic gloss to the vibrant glow of its LEDs, was rendered with the highest level of realism. This attention to detail was crucial in conveying the premium quality and innovative design of the Vortex Cube.
The teaser was strategically designed to generate curiosity and engagement. By focusing on the cube’s dynamic changes and the intense concentration of users, we aimed to communicate not just a new product, but a new experience. The 3D product animation invites viewers into the world of the Vortex Cube, challenging them to imagine conquering its complexities.
Distribution: Maximizing Reach and Engagement
To maximize the teaser’s impact, we leveraged multiple platforms for its distribution. The animation was shared widely on social media, targeting communities of puzzle enthusiasts, tech lovers, and gamers. Additionally, a variant of the teaser was featured on the Vortex Cube’s webpage, where potential customers could register their interest. This dual approach ensured that the teaser reached a broad audience, sparking conversations and building anticipation across various online communities.
The Result: A Launch That Captures Imagination
The response to the teaser was overwhelmingly positive, with viewers expressing excitement and eagerness to experience the Vortex Cube firsthand. By employing 3D photo-realistic CGI animation, we were able to not only showcase the Vortex Cube’s innovative features but also capture the essence of the challenge and fun it promises.
This project exemplifies how powerful 3D product explainer films can be in generating interest and excitement for a new product. At Studio Mitchell, we’re proud to have been a part of launching the Vortex Cube, a toy that redefines what a puzzle can be. It was a testament to our ability to bring revolutionary products to life through animation, ensuring they make a lasting impression even before they hit the shelves.

Did you like the logotype?
In addition to the teaser animation, Studio Mitchell was also entrusted with designing a distinctive logotype for the Vortex Cube, further solidifying our role in its market introduction. Understanding the essence of the Vortex Cube, we embarked on a creative journey to encapsulate its unique identity into a visual form. The challenge was to interpret the cube’s dynamic essence and the amalgamation of its nine colors warping into a vortex, symbolising the transformative user experience it offers. The result was a mesmerising logotype that embodies the cube’s core attributes: innovation, challenge, and evolution.
This logotype not only serves as the Vortex Cube’s visual identifier but also conveys the product’s captivating allure, drawing viewers into the vortex of its gameplay. The design seamlessly blends with the overall branding and marketing materials, creating a cohesive and compelling narrative that enhances the Vortex Cube’s market presence.
Whilst not a core part of our business, through this additional design work, Studio Mitchell demonstrated it’s comprehensive capabilities in branding and design, ensuring that every touchpoint with the Vortex Cube communicates its groundbreaking nature and solidifying its position as a must-have for puzzle enthusiasts and tech aficionados alike.
