Our Scalable Services

We offer a wide range of Creative Services, organized for clarity and scale.

1. 3D Environment & Prop Modeling (Our Core)

We build the “stuff” of your game, from the smallest bolt to entire buildings.

• Prop Modeling (By Type):

  • Hero Props: High-detail, unique assets for close-ups or key interactions (e.g., a “hero” weapon, a quest item, a unique console).

  • Set Dressing & “Junk” Props: The thousands of assets that make a world feel real (e.g., books, bottles, cups, furniture, debris).

  • Interactable Props: Assets with functional requirements (e.g., chests, doors, levers, explosive barrels).

• Prop Modeling (By Style):

  • Realistic / Photogrammetry: We use 3D Scanning for Games to create ultra-realistic props and materials.

  • Stylized: Hand-painted, chunky, or clean-shaded props for non-realistic games.

  • Hard Surface: Clean, high-tech props (sci-fi crates, consoles, machinery).

• Weapon & Vehicle Modeling:

  • Weapon Modeling: Production of entire arsenals (pistols, rifles, fantasy swords, sci-fi blasters) with correct moving parts.

  • Vehicle Modeling: Ground, air, and sea vehicles, optimized for gameplay or cinematics.

• Environment Kits & World Building:

  • Modular Environment Design: The core of our environment service. We create comprehensive kits (e.g., “Modular Dungeon Kit,” “Modular Sci-Fi Base Kit,” “Modular Favela Kit”) with floors, walls, ceilings, and trim, allowing your level designers to build endless variations.

  • Foliage & Vegetation Art: Creation of optimized trees, grass, bushes, and flowers.

  • Game Environment Modeling: Assembly of unique “hero” structures (e.g., a specific church, a unique “boss room”).

2. Technical Asset Services

Every asset we deliver is optimized and game-ready.

• LOD Creation: Generating multiple Levels of Detail for every asset to ensure smooth performance.

• Collision Modeling: Creating simple, accurate collision meshes.

• Asset Optimization: Profiling and reducing polycounts, materials, and texture sizes to meet your performance budgets.

• PBR Texturing & Material Authoring: High-volume, high-quality texturing and material setup in-engine.

3. UI/UX Design & 2D Art

We support your game’s interface and 2D needs.

• UI/UX Design:

  • Mobile Game UI: Clean, finger-friendly interfaces for Casual Game Art.

  • PC/Console UI: More complex, high-resolution interfaces.

  • Wireframing and Prototyping: Using Figma or Adobe XD to build your Game UX Flow before art production.

• 2D Art & Icons:

  • Game Icon Design: Hundreds of high-quality icons for skills, inventory, achievements, and stores.

  • Illustration for Games: Loading screens, marketing art, and 2D backgrounds.
