The deaf are described as individuals with hearing impairments ranging from mild to severe who rely on visual-based communication. In Indonesia, Indonesian Sign Language (BISINDO) is widely used due to its natural development within the deaf community. This study aims to evaluate the development and implementation of 3D animation as a visual learning aid for simple BISINDO sentences, making learning more intuitive and accessible. Using the ADDIE instructional model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the research integrated 30 sign language words into 17 simple sentences featuring custom 3D characters. Descriptive qualitative analysis combined with Likert-scale questionnaires evaluated media validity and usability through feedback from material experts, media experts, and a field test with 6 deaf students from Universitas Negeri Malang. The validation results yielded an overall score of 86.25%, categorizing the 3D animation media as "Very Suitable" for educational use. The findings confirm that 3D animation effectively bridges communication gaps by presenting realistic motion and engaging visual content.
