Quality-Oriented Game Animation Company
Pixune's Game Animation Services
Pixune 3D art services bring a new level of technical mastery to your game by using industry-leading software and techniques like advanced rigging, realistic physics, and immersive 3D modeling. Our game animation studio specializes in character rigging, walk cycles, and facial animations to keep your players hooked for hours on end.
Think of the lifelike characters in games like “The Last of Us Part II” or the intricate worlds of “Assassin’s Creed.” That’s the level of detail we aim for.
From pixel-perfect retro to modern animation styles, our 2D art studio evokes nostalgia and captures the imagination to leave a lasting impact on your players. We create frame-by-frame animations and leverage techniques like parallax, tweening, and fluid motion to build eye-catching 2D game animations.
Remember the vibrant world of “Cuphead”? We bring that same magic to your 2D animation through our keen eyes for 2D aesthetics.
Our cinematic animators craft engaging teaser trailers, release trailers, story trailers, and in-game cutscenes to showcase your game at its full potential by merging technical and marketing knowledge. Our game animation studio uses storyboarding, SFX, cinematic sequencing, high-detailed scenes, visual effects, sound effects, and color grading to set your video game apart. We leave a lasting impression, like what you can see in the cinematic brilliance of “God of War” intros.
Every pixel of your video game character, NPCs, monsters, etc., will be animated in detail while reflecting their personalities. We focus on body anatomy, expressions, detailed rigging, emotional portrayal, and realistic movement synchronization. You can leave your game character animations of all game genres, from RPGs to RTS games, to our animators’ capable hands and enjoy how they shine from concepts to fully realized beings.
We ensure your characters tell a story even without words like the emotive expressions of Ellie in “The Last of Us Part II” or the dynamic movements of Kratos in “God of War.”
Props are not designed just to enhance your game’s visual style; they possess functionality in the game. Animating your game power-ups, weapons, and vehicles can significantly bring interactivity into your game. From destructible objects and physics elements to interactive puzzles and objects that come alive, our prop animators make game elements that players can engage with in meaningful ways.
We ensure every prop adds depth to your game’s narrative with realistic physics, detailed textures, and seamless integration into game environments.
Think about the interactive objects in “Half-Life: Alyx,” those are exactly what we mean by adding depth and textures that integrate with your game.

NO BUGS AND NICE GRAPHICS
I hired Pixune to develop a sample runner game in Unity. The process was very smooth due to their experience, and their suggestions were always helpful. It was a bit over budget, but the results were excellent. The sample game had no bugs and nice graphics. The project was finished 3 weeks before the deadline. I hired two freelancers on Upwork before Pixune for a similar project and not only they were months late over the deadline, but the results were also very bad. So, I have to say I'm quite pleased with hiring Pixune.

CONTINUE TO HIRE THEM FOR OTHER PROJECTS
There's an old saying that when it comes to hiring people you can look for "good," you can look for "reliable," or you can look for "affordable"... but you won't be able to find somebody who is all three. In Pixune's case, I feel they come the closest of anybody I've dealt with over the past years of our company's existence. I've been really happy with Pixune. I originally hired them in the Fall of 2022 for game development and was happy enough with them that I continue to hire them for other projects, even ones that fall outside of the original reason I contacted them. Besides game development, I've had them do web design work for our site. They're very flexible, accommodating, and extremely reliable.

BETTER THAN THE REFERENCE
The quality of the art received was really impressive after the team came up with ideas and improvements all the time for the characters. Being timely and attentive to details is great but their passion and involvement in our project were amazing! We will surely collaborate again. The team is very passionate and we were amazed when we got the final result which was better than the reference we provided, a reference that we really liked.

HIGHLY COOPERATIVE PEOPLE
The Pixune team is full of kind, excellent, considerate, empathetic, talented, and highly cooperative people. The quality of the work that was received was outstanding, however it did take multiple iterations to reach that level. Some instructions were missed, but were fixed - it just lengthened the process and the schedule.

SURELY COME BACK AGAIN
This guy did really good work, he really did amazing art and even after the artist finished he wasn't happy with it so he did it all over again from scratch. I really recommend him and will surely come back again. (this is already the second time)

THE END RESULT WAS WORTH
This was a great experience overall. He took time to actually understand what was needed to deliver the project that I was asking for. Modelers tend to rush because they think they know what the client want, but Pixune went over to clarify the specifics. It required a little more time than we agreed on. However, the end results was worth an extra few days. Trust me...it's worth waiting a few more days, than to have something you don't like at the end. I highly recommend to anybody reading this review. And I look forward working with Pixune again. Thank You!

PIXUNE GOT THE PROJECT RIGHT FROM THE START
Pixune got the project right from the start. We had a somewhat unique art style that needed consideration to be both cartoony and low poly. They were great at interpreting the brief and adding their own style and ideas which really helped. Throughout the rest of the concepts and 3D models & animation steps, nothing was a problem, they asked good questions and were happy to jump on a video call for updates at any time. We will be using them in the future!

Why Our Game Animation Company?
We are perfectionists by nature and can’t even deliver a bad game animation even if asked to! An ugly art annoys our brains more than you.
Several times, a client was happy with a piece of art, but we were not, so we designed it again from scratch at our own expense.
You will be constantly updated to share your comments, apply any changes to the game animation, and ensure we are on the right track. An exclusive account manager will be allotted to your project, who will manage our communications. They respond to messages quickly, are always available, on-call, and ready to jump on a meeting with you, even on weekends.
We welcome changes and criticism, and we are as flexible as possible when it comes to implementing revisions. However, as professionals, we will express our opinions and provide our advice. Ultimately, the decision-making lies with you.
You may have experienced situations where delegating a project has resulted in both time and cost wastage, with a failed outcome. That’s not the case here. We will take full responsibility to ensure that the desired outcome is achieved once and for all.
We are gamers by nature and know the ins and outs of the game industry standards by heart and have gaming experience. Since we have both professional and experimental backgrounds in this field, we can analyze and execute things efficiently.

There are 4 logical reasons for you to consider outsourcing game animation projects:
- Saving Money and Time: Creating animations requires an experienced animation team across many roles like riggers, animators, art directors, art leads, etc., and hiring them in-house has challenges. Video game animation companies house all the expertise necessary to bring a client’s vision to life efficiently, speedily, and cost-effectively.
- Creativity: Have you ever considered that you can outsource creativity, too? Apple partnered with Hovey-Kelley for creative ideas when inventing the mouse. A game animation outsourcing studio thrives on imagination.
- Quality: Practice makes perfect. Game animation outsourcing companies produce countless game animations, constantly honing skills and staying current on the latest trends and tools. Their experience enables high-quality game animation services delivery without wasted time or budget.
- Scalability: Expanding the game animation creation scale requires growing your talented team. That’s challenging in-house but not for a video game animation outsourcing partner with access to more game animators. A character animation agency maintains larger talent pools and connections to scale up readily.
There are 4 criteria for picking the best game animation studio:
- Portfolio: A game animation studio’s expertise is showcased via its breathtaking art portfolio, and nothing tells better what they are capable of than its past works.
- Reviews: Read their reviews online and see what their past clients think of them. The most honest on-hand thing you can find in the best video game animation companies is their online reviews.
- Communication: First impressions matter – especially when it comes to effective communication. If they’re slow to respond or just plain rude from the get-go, imagine how it’ll be once they have your money! Trust your gut and work with people who make you feel good.
- Time and Budget Compatibility: After all, you might find the best game animation studios in the world, but your time schedule and/or money budget do not meet their demands. Find a game animation outsourcing partner that meets all the previous characteristics as well as your budget and schedule.
We create animation for all game genres, from RPGs and RTS to action and Simulation video games.
- We take advantage of computer software such as Autodesk Maya, Blender, 3Ds Max, Unity, Unreal Engine, Houdini, and Cinema 4D.
