March is #MyelomaActionMonth. Some myeloma therapies block the proteasome—the cell’s “garbage disposal”—causing misfolded proteins to build up and trigger cancer cell death. Medical animation helps clarify these treatments for clinicians and patients alike.

Our March AXS Studio Calendar image features casein and whey protein inside a baby’s belly! Blending 2D and 3D art styles can make complex medical science more approachable for lay audiences. Thoughtful visual design informs how non-medical audiences connect with medical content💡

Custom 3D illustration for axs3d.com and marketing materials. An visualization of AXS Studio workflow from storyboard/wireframe, through modeling, animation, design and interactive development. These stages are represented by workstations arranged in sequence around a central holographic human figure with visible anatomy—the immersive final product. Healthcare professionals interact with the content on a touchscreen, a VR headset and an iPad. Immersive 3D illustration style, reminiscent of Peter Tarka.
We’re inspired by possibility—exploring new creative approaches, and bringing vast technical knowledge and high quality execution to ensure your story makes a lasting impression.

6 years ago, there was a hunger for info to help people navigate the COVID-19 crisis.
To explain the difference between vaccines and antivirals, we used a warm, accessible style, made with the MNPRX renderer (artineering.io/software/MNPRX).

Digital 3D rendering of a keratinocyte migrating on a collagen extracellular matrix scaffold. The cytoskeleton is visible inside the cell body and in the pseudopods extending outward. The image has shallow depth of field, resulting in a background cell being out of focus.
Our February 2026 AXS Studio calendar image depicts keratinocytes—the cells of the epidermis—migrating over collagen fibers of the dermis to close a wound in the skin.

Good question!
I'll have to ask around on the team and let you know. 🧐
Perhaps not the most surprising, but we have shared tips for accessible communication, and though these seem obvious in hindsight, it helps to articulate them when outlining a new project. -GM

Custom 3D illustration for axs3d.com and marketing materials. A large 3D head with the brain, eyes and inner ear visible is surrounded by AXS team members. Panels label the visual cortex, auditory cortex and prefrontal cortex. AXS team members analyze data read-outs, using this evidence to apply cognitive psychology principles to our work, in order to optimize it for visual perception and learning. Immersive 3D illustration style, reminiscent of Peter Tarka.
More than pretty pictures, our visualizations are designed to drive insight.
By harnessing design principles based on cognitive psychology, we optimize your scientific communications for visual perception and learning.
