About Throttle Media
Throttle Media is a Belgian technical and scientific 3D visualization studio that turns complex engineering concepts into clear, photorealistic animation. Operating publicly as Throttle, the studio works with CAD data, technical documentation and scientific subject matter to create visual narratives for investors, customers and wider audiences.
Its work spans the production pipeline from preparing and simplifying complex engineering assemblies through detailed surfacing, animation, simulation, camera work and interface-style telemetry overlays. The studio combines mechanical and scientific accuracy with cinematic presentation, helping clients communicate systems that can be difficult to explain through conventional imagery alone.
Engineering-led visualization
Throttle’s capabilities include:
- Technical and scientific visualization
- Engineering animation and photorealistic 3D rendering
- CAD model conversion, preparation and de-featuring
- Mechanical kinematic and dynamics animation
- Physical, particle and fluid-flow simulation
- Motion design, explainer graphics and UI/telemetry overlays
- Technical storyboarding and science communication
The studio serves advanced engineering markets including aerospace and space technology, aviation and hypersonics, clean energy, advanced physics, automotive engineering and mechanical systems. Its visualizations have been used to communicate subjects ranging from orbital infrastructure and lunar landers to hydrogen fuel-cell aircraft, fusion reactors and adaptive aviation engines.
Selected work
Credits supported by the research include work for Reflect Orbital, Arc, Sierra Space, Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander, Hermeus, Intelligent Energy’s IE-Flight programme, Perryparts, Astro Mechanica and Helion Energy.
Throttle developed from an engineering-animation production practice associated with Real Engineering, the educational media channel founded by co-founder Brian McManus. The commercial studio was established to provide dedicated technical animation services for corporate and engineering clients, combining engineering knowledge with 3D production for product announcements, fundraising communication and technical storytelling.
The company operates legally as Throttle Media BV and was formally incorporated in Belgium in 2026, following its 2022 operational launch as a dedicated commercial visualization practice.
More about Throttle Media
Leadership and production practice
- Stijn Orlans is co-founder, project lead and an electromechanical engineer; Brian McManus is co-founder and founder of Real Engineering.
- The core creative team also includes Brent Cornelis, a 3D artist and engineer, and Eli Prenten, a 3D artist.
- The studio’s production approach draws on a distributed network of freelance 3D animators and CAD engineers. Its reported workflow includes Cinema 4D, Octane Render, Autodesk Fusion 360 and Substance Painter, alongside CAD preparation and physics-informed animation techniques.
Production background
The visualization practice grew from the rapid-turnaround engineering-documentary pipeline developed for Real Engineering. That background informed Throttle’s focus on translating technically dense subjects into cinematic, accessible visual communication.
