Amida3D Animation: Turn Your Lottery Draw Into the Highlight of the Event

A lottery that just spits out the result feels flat. If you've put effort into a year-end party or a company event, you want the moment the winner appears to actually feel like a moment.

Amida-san's Amida3D renders the draw as a cinematic 3D ball run, instantly turning the lottery into the highlight of the event. With the Organizer Plan (Pro), Amida3D is unlimited across all your events. This article shows how to use the 3D animation to lift the energy in the room.

A draw that "just shows the result" is a missed opportunity

The fun of a lottery isn't the result itself, it's the anticipation building up to it.

What goes wrong with a plain draw

• You hit the button, the name appears, and there's no buildup
• Even on a big screen it feels flat and the room goes quiet
• There's no moment to share, no "let's see that again"

In large events especially, whether the draw becomes a real "moment" makes or breaks the energy of the room.

What Amida3D delivers

Amida3D is the paid option that renders the standard flat amidakuji as a fully 3D scene.

Balls race down a cinematic 3D course

Each participant is represented by a ball that tumbles dynamically down a 3D amidakuji course. The balls move enough to keep the path unpredictable right up to the finish, generating real anticipation.

Designed to scale up to large events

Amida3D supports up to 299 participants and automatically scales the stage to the player count. Cast it onto a projector or big screen and the whole room shares the result moment together.

Pay per event on Free, unlimited on Pro

Amida3D normally costs $8 per event on the free plan. With the Organizer Plan (Pro) it's unlimited across all events at no per-event charge. If you run company events or recurring lotteries and want each one to feel like a show, the unlimited tier is the obvious fit.

How to use it

1. Create an event in Amida-san

4. Cast it to a big screen and watch the balls run together

Where this shines

Year-end and new-year parties

For a year-end party prize drawing, the 3D presentation transforms the energy of the room. Because the result is genuinely unclear until the ball stops, you actually get audible reactions.

Wedding entertainment

For interactive wedding moments, the 3D draw becomes a guest-participation centerpiece that's also memorable for the couple.

Company kickoffs and internal events

For company events and team announcements, you can turn what would be a regular lottery into something closer to a stage show. Remote attendees can enjoy it via screen share.
