We know what it takes to craft a piece of art that can clearly communicate a game or film production's visual look. Great concept art not only inspires all of the other departments but also unites them under a singular vision. And because it’s one of the first steps of any project, it’s the perfect time to explore the world through various sketches and paintings. Whether it’s environments or storyboards, we can dream it up.

3D modeling is an essential part of almost any film or game production. Our modelers are artists first, which mean they understand how to sculpt an amazing model for any need. Combined with our talented concept and texture artists, we are able to deliver high-detail meshes in exceptional quality. And with a background in video games as well as film, we understand how to carefully plan out and optimize a 3D model that will run efficiently on any target hardware.

Rigging is the process of creating a set of interconnected bones for a model so it can move using its digital skeleton. It requires creativity, precision, and an eye for detail...all of which we excel in. Anything can be rigged—from a character, to a door, to a fighter plane. And the better the rig, the more options the animator has to be creative and fluid in their work.

Texturing can bring a 3D model to life. It’s an art form all its own, with each model being a unique canvas that needs its own specific colors and brush strokes. We offer texturing in a variety of styles. Whether you need something hand painted or something realistic, we have skills to work in a variety of styles. We'll deliver a texture that perfectly marries to the 3D model, while nailing just the right look you’re going for.
"Be honest and kind with yourself, and embrace your quirks. Remember that this industry is one giant collaboration so have fun along the way and make meaningful relationships."
— Amanda Renfroe, Co-Head of Animation
