SPECIALITIES

  • Bringing characters to life with either Blender, 3DS Max or Maya. From subtle acting to broad body mechanics shots.

  • Creating the kind of actions a character performs in-game. Basically everything that happens when the player presses a button.

  • Rigging game-ready character rigs and creating animations that can be exported to a game engine. Implementing animation assets in the engine and setting up state machines.

  • Shaping a narrative that allows for believable worlds and entertaining characters. It’s about drawing the audience into your bubble and making sure that they don’t want to leave until the experience is complete.

  • Knowing how people like to interact with a digital product and the most optimal way to relay information to them.
