Forensic Animation
Scientifically accurate 3D animations recreate accidents, crimes, fires, explosions, product failures, and other events using expert analysis and physical evidence.
Capture complex environments with precise 3D scanning, point clouds, and digital reconstructions for investigations, litigation, and courtroom presentation. 21st Century Forensic Animations documents physical evidence with verifiable methodology, helping Michigan attorneys, experts, and agencies explain spatial relationships clearly while preserving important details for analysis and demonstrative exhibits.

Forensic scanning and visualization services transform physical evidence into accurate, understandable digital exhibits for legal and investigative work.
Scientifically accurate 3D animations recreate accidents, crimes, fires, explosions, product failures, and other events using expert analysis and physical evidence.
Terrestrial laser scanning captures millions of precise spatial measurements from scenes, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure for point clouds and digital analysis.
Explore reconstructed scenes from multiple viewpoints to understand evidence, spatial relationships, and complex incidents during investigations, mediation, or trial.
High-resolution UAV imagery supports accurate 3D models of large accident scenes, industrial sites, crime scenes, and properties while preserving critical evidence.
Close-range photogrammetry extracts three-dimensional measurements from photographs, videos, surveillance footage, dashcams, and images of physical evidence.
Technical experts support litigation with testimony about forensic visualization, laser scanning, photogrammetry, animation methods, and visual reconstructions.
Accurate 3D scanning helps preserve scenes, analyze measurements, and communicate complex evidence with confidence. For Michigan litigation teams, digital replicas can make spatial relationships easier to understand without relying solely on static photographs.

21st Century Forensic Animations was founded in 1989 as the first independent forensic animation firm. For 37 years, the company has translated complex physical evidence into precise, verifiable 3D visualizations that judges and juries can understand. Its work supports civil and criminal cases, including accident reconstruction, product liability, fires and explosions, aviation incidents, and other technically demanding matters. For legal teams working in Michigan, the firm offers a disciplined approach to documenting scenes, analyzing spatial relationships, and presenting evidence clearly. State-of-the-art hardware and software, complete methodology documentation, and an understanding of civil, criminal, state, federal, and international rules of evidence guide every engagement.
Terrestrial 3D laser scanning captures millions of precise spatial measurements from physical environments. The resulting point cloud can support scene analysis, measurements, digital modeling, and forensic animation. It may be used for accident scenes, crime scenes, buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure, giving legal and investigative teams a detailed digital record for reviewing spatial relationships and technical evidence.
