Stages of Characters Creation

What You’ll Get

[ 01 ]
Briefing & Reference Gathering

We clarify goals, art direction, style, target platform, and technical requirements. Moodboards and anatomy references are gathered to align vision.

You’ll get: a clear plan, visual direction, and key reference boards.
[ 02 ]
Concept & Blockout

We create concept sketches or work with provided ones, develop the base character blockout and proportions for early feedback.

You’ll get: early silhouettes and blockouts to validate the overall look before production.
[ 03 ]
Modeling, Sculpting & Texturing

Our team creates highpoly/lowpoly models, UVs, bakes, and textures. Topology, materials, and rigging are prepared for production.

You’ll get: a production-ready character model with clean topology, UVs, and textures.
[ 04 ]
Testing & Final Delivery

We check deformation, performance, and export assets in the required formats, ensuring clean integration into the engine.

You’ll get: final character files ready for engine implementation.
