CGI & 3D Animation

Japan's CG and anime pipeline runs deep.

Here is how this works in practice. We line up work through studios that built that name. Names include Polygon Pictures, OLM Digital, Marza Animation Planet, Sublimation, and Madhouse. Tokyo and Osaka boutiques focus on commercial and broadcast CGI fill out the bench. Modeling, texturing, rigging, and character animation run in Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini, ZBrush, and Cinema 4D. Rendering runs through Arnold, V-Ray, Redshift, or Unreal Engine real-time chains.

Here is the short of it. Photoreal work runs through physically-based shading and Substance Painter texturing. References tie to site plates from Tokyo, Yokohama, or wherever the live-action piece was caught. ACES colour management holds creative intent from model through final composite.

Here is the breakdown. Volume scales from a single hero product visual to full episode CG series. Our chain backs motion capture cleanup, facial animation, simulation work, and crowd systems for shoots that need them. Timelines run from days for product spots to months for character-led feature work. Detailed milestones get agreed at bid. Daily progress against shot turnovers is clear. Every CG item is delivered with the right passes, mattes, and metadata. Compositors blend it clean. Whatever the visual aim, we hand back CGI that holds up against Japan's most demanding broadcast, theatrical, and streaming clients.
