Boutique 3DCG Studio Backed by Top Japanese AAA Game and Animation Projects
1. Company Overview Established in 2018, the Company is a boutique studio specializing in high-end 3D computer-generated imagery (3DCG) for the global video-game and animation sectors. Leveraging collaborations with leading game publishers and film studios in Japan and overseas, it has contributed to several world-renowned AAA console titles, television commercials for blue-chip corporates, and full-length animated features.
