• PROP DESIGN AND SET DRESSINGHow we helped Frictional Games
Slash production costs by 66% with a 33% boost in art quality.
01.
Building an
Efficient Style Guide
We established the core visual language of the game—defining shapes, colors, and motifs before sketching. For the “dark world” setting, we incorporated magnetic patterns, exotic materials like obsidian, jade, and stone, and unique ornamental designs. With this solid artistic foundation, we explored bold creative directions while ensuring every asset fit seamlessly into the game's world. This approach boosted creativity, streamlined production, and enhanced visual consistency.
02.
3D Concept Art
For Faster Production
By leveraging modern 3D concept art techniques over traditional 2D workflows, we streamlined the entire design-to-production pipeline. Our in-house 3D modelers and outsourcing partners quickly adapted, using pre-sculpted base meshes to accelerate model creation.
This multi-angle visualization approach not only refined our concepts early on but also cut down modeling time, as initial 3D sculpts were reused with only minimal remodeling required.
The result? Faster production, higher accuracy, and seamless integration into game and film pipelines.
03.
Using an Unified
Material Library
By reusing a shared material library, we ensured a cohesive visual language across the entire game—creating consistent colors, textures, and materials throughout production. This approach not only reinforced artistic unity but also sped up rendering and iteration, as pre-saved materials could be quickly reapplied and expanded upon.
With each project, the material library evolved, further optimizing 3D concept art workflows and reducing production time without sacrificing quality.
