Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our gesture and pose animation services.

What file formats do you deliver?

We deliver animations in all industry-standard formats including FBX, Alembic, USD, BVH, and native formats (MA/MB for Maya, MAX for 3ds Max). We ensure compatibility with all major game engines and production pipelines.

How long does a typical animation project take?

Project timelines vary based on complexity. Simple gesture animations typically take 3-5 days, while complex character performances with multiple poses can take 2-3 weeks. We always provide accurate timelines during the consultation phase.

Do you work with motion capture data?

Yes! We specialize in motion capture cleanup, retargeting, and refinement. We can take raw mocap data and transform it into clean, production-ready animations tailored to your character rig.

Can you match a specific animation style?

Absolutely. We can analyze reference materials and match any animation style, from realistic to cartoony, stylized to photorealistic. Just provide us with examples and we'll deliver animations that perfectly match your vision.

What information do you need to start a project?

To provide an accurate quote, we need: character specifications (type, style), animation requirements (type, duration, complexity), reference materials, delivery format requirements, and your timeline. The more details you provide, the better we can serve you.

Do you offer ongoing support after delivery?

Yes, we provide post-delivery support to ensure smooth integration into your pipeline. If you encounter any issues or need minor adjustments, we're here to help. Our goal is your complete satisfaction with the final product.
