ANIMATION
Cycle Animations
Cycles are loopable animations that cover core movement types such as walking, running, idling and similar actions.Typically lower-cost than custom or cutscene work.Examples showcased include walking, running and flight.
Custom Animations
Custom animations are made-to-order and are created around the specific request. This includes actions such as attacks, emotes, abilities or any movement that falls outside of standard cyclic animations.Pricing varies based on complexity and length.Examples showcased include flight, roaring and yawning/fatigued.
Cutscene Animations
Cutscene animations are fully rendered, non-game animations designed as cinematic shots or short scenes. They are typically used for character introductions or showcases and do not include SFX.Higher-cost due to rendering, scene setup, and polish.Examples showcased include short personal work scenes.
RIGGING
Simplistic Rigging
Simple rigs are built for basic animation.
They include IK controls with optional stretch-to and a limited bone count between 40-70 to keep the rig clean and accessible.This rig is ideal for simple cycles and poses but is not cleared for complex or facial animation.
Standard Rigging
Standard rigs are designed for flexible, higher-quality animation. They include IK/FK, stretch-to, action controllers and limited facial rigging (eyes).This rig is made for complex movement and expressive animation, but not for advanced facial motion or heavy deformation.
Advanced Rigging
Advanced rigs provide maximum control and include full facial rigging, IK/FK, drivers, action controllers, stretch systems and shape keys.They are best suited for complex animation and facial motion. They are primarily used for cinematic or showcase work rather than games and assets that require heavy optimisation.
