About game development outsourcing

Character design can be a challenging and time-consuming task that requires advanced tools and hardware, particularly when working with 3D models. We realize how crucial it is to design a gaming character that fits your game's environment and genre. That's why we take the time to thoroughly comprehend the backstory of each character before designing them. This attention to detail allows us to create compelling storylines that capture the imagination of players.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you design characters with rigging and animation-ready assets?
Yes, we design characters that are fully rigged and ready for animation, ensuring they integrate smoothly into your project. Our team specializes in creating rigs with precise bone structures and weight painting, allowing for realistic and dynamic character movements. These assets are tailored to meet the specific requirements of your game engine or animation software.
Do you create custom textures and materials for 3D characters?
Absolutely! We craft custom textures and materials to enhance the uniqueness and visual appeal of your 3D characters. Whether it’s realistic skin details, intricate armor patterns, or stylized finishes, our team ensures every texture aligns with your artistic vision. These materials are optimized for performance while maintaining stunning visual fidelity.
How can I find character artists?
You can use freelancing platforms like Upwork or Freelancer, websites like Behance, and social networks such as LinkedIn. Job-search websites can also be used for this purpose. To save time searching for qualified candidates, you can even entirely outsource the hiring process to character design studios.
Why outsource character design?
Outsourcing your character design duties is a cost-effective and time-efficient choice. It saves time and money since you don't have to hire in-house professionals for an indefinite amount of time. Typically, outsourced teams work on a single project.
