About Photonic Studio

A small studio with big-studio results

3D animation, AI visuals, and 3D printing for B2B teams. Fast, good, and friendly.

Ian Zeigler, founder of Photonic Studio

Photonic Studio is a creative and visualization studio that helps businesses explain what they make, faster and for less. We blend cinematic 3D animation with modern AI tools to create product visuals, animation, video, and 3D printed pieces.

Ian Zeigler leads the studio. He works across AI and 3D, so one team can take an idea from a sketch or a CAD file to a finished animation, a render, or a printed prototype.

We keep things simple: clear pricing in Photons, quick turnarounds, and people who answer your messages.

Our own projects

When we are not working for clients, we build our own. These run on the same 3D and AI pipeline we use for yours.

CLE: Rage on the Lake

Brawl your way down the Cleveland lakefront in a retro beat-’em-up made for the 216. Play Story or Arcade mode, and follow along as the game gets built. Fans and local businesses can even sponsor a character or location to appear in it. Photonic Studio is the studio behind the game.

Action Hero Shop

A toy shop where you can buy 3D files to print yourself and collect, or order physical prints shipped to you. Photonic Studio is the studio behind the shop, its 3D models and its artwork, and prints the physical pieces in-house.
