PROFESSIONAL 3D GAME CHARACTER DESIGN

Our professional 3D game character design involves the creation of detailed characters for video games. It requires a combination of artistic skill, technical expertise, and a deep understanding of game design principles.

We use all popular 3D tools for modeling and rigging to bring our characters to life. And, of course, we pay careful attention to factors such as anatomy, proportions, textures, and materials to create believable and captivating designs.

SPEED UP CG PRODUCTION WITH OUR CHARACTERS

CG characters offer numerous advantages in various scenarios. Their versatility and flexibility make them ideal for film, video, and animation projects. With each CG character, you can achieve highly detailed and realistic visuals, thanks to their high polygon counts that surpass what is possible in games. Additionally, CG characters allow for advanced simulations, such as realistic hair and cloth dynamics, adding an extra layer of authenticity to your creations. 

Moreover, CG characters offer the convenience of easy customization, saving time and effort in production.

We offer a comprehensive suite of animation 3D character design services, including animating existing assets provided by clients and crafting characters with animations from the ground up.

The process of creating a 3D character design is intricate, involving the construction of virtual skeletons, skins, and textures, but it ultimately results in seamless and fluid animations. We also offer the capability for our clients to transfer animated game characters into game engines such as Unity or Unreal.

OUR CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION SOLUTIONS

Are you planning to introduce a character creation system in your game? Such a feature is quite popular in modern games, and users appreciate the ability to customize characters according to their preferences. However, it is essential to consider the aspect of character customization.

Our 3D artists always take into account the desires and ideas of clients and game developers, creating not only characters but also variations in facial expressions, clothing, and even hairstyles.

Blendshapes are a vital component in game character creation, especially when it comes to animating facial expressions. These versatile tools allow for the seamless manipulation of a character’s facial features and expressions.

By blending and morphing various predefined shapes, such as smiles, frowns, or raised eyebrows, animators can breathe life into the character’s face and emotions, adding depth and realism to their interactions within the stylized game world.

The variety of hairstyles makes game characters unique and distinctive. Whether it’s a character with big hair or short haircuts, the artist’s main task is to ensure that each strand looks realistic, just like the process of hair dying.

If you want to create a hairstyle in a game, consider the style that would suit your character. Special attention should be given to female characters with long hair in games, as well as if your game is based on the mechanics of making your own hairstyle in games.

Of course, all game characters require 3D outfits. Every ​​3D character designer in our team knows how to ensure that the character’s appearance and attire match the atmosphere of the game project.

Whether it’s a cruise on a liner or a mysterious crime in a forest, the characters’ clothing matches the game’s style and genre. Our artists, like fashion designers, create a variety of clothing sets for all characters. These sets can be mixed and matched to create unique outfits.

Our Comprehensive 3D Character Modeling Process

It drives the commitment to understand your vision and convert it into visuals that resonate with players. Every step of our 3D character production process has been crafted for precision, creativity, and efficiency. It all starts with requirement gathering and ends with final delivery. Click on the dots to learn more about each stage!

Concept

01

3D character designers begin by gathering your ideas and defining the project's direction. This includes brainstorming, sketching, and creating references. We establish a solid foundation that reflects your vision.

3D Sculpting

02

A high-poly model is crafted with intricate details, realistic shapes, and precise proportions. This sculpt forms the foundation for future steps, ensuring the design aligns with your expectations.

Low Poly Retopology

03

3D character designer optimizes the high-poly model into a low-poly version. This ensures smooth performance and maintains quality. This step is crucial for seamless real-time rendering in game engines.

UV Mapping and Baking

04

The unwrapped model is ready for texturing. High-poly details are transferred to the low-poly version using baking techniques. We generate normal maps, ambient occlusion, and other necessary textures.

Texturing

05

Colors, materials, and fine details are applied to enhance the model. Texturing ensures the final design fits your project’s style and delivers a polished and appealing asset.

Final Asset Delivery

06

Artists rig completed assets (if required). Then they test them and export in a format compatible with your game engine. We optimize files for immediate integration and are ready for use in your project.

Tailored Business Models
