Whether it’s characters, creatures, animals or vehicles, we specialize in crafting meticulously hand-keyed animations with a keen narrative intuition to orchestrate cinematic sequences by framing and animating cameras effectively.
Our team also boasts extensive experience in crafting performance-captured facial animations to convey heightened emotions and expressions across a variety of game genres.
And, the team’s knowledge doesn’t end there. We have expertise in previsualization for motion capture shoots, as well as constructing scenes that incorporate characters, cameras and precise duration locking.
What are our MoCap capabilities?
A distinct realm of our proficiency lies in refining motion capture animations for both gameplay and cinematic sequences. Leveraging a comprehensive grasp of the animation pipeline, our team ensures the delivery of top-tier animations that preserve the subtleties of the original motion capture data.
Where do we go beyond the game?
We pride ourselves in the ability to polish motion-captured animations up to the highest standard. The goal is to always create the authentic body animations and facial expressions that give players an immersive gaming experience across both cinematic sequences and gameplay.
