Hey everyone! It's been a while since we've posted, but we're back. We've had the pleasure of creating a brand new trailer for the game, Traffic Puzzle.

In the trailer, you'll meet Zoe, a traffic cop girl, and her trusty dog Scooter as they work to keep the streets safe and traffic flowing smoothly. But when the evil Dr. Gridlock comes along and causes chaos with pink smoke, it's up to Zoe and Scooter to save the day.

We had a great time making the trailer for this game, and we're excited to share it with you all. You can find the trailer on our page, and if you want to see more, head over to our website for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the trailer! 🎬🚦

Illuster approached us to make a test for translating a painting into 3D for a personal project for Hikso Hulsing.
First we removed all characters, smoke, fires and shadows. Then we added all these elements back in again, but now in 3D form. Here is our final test and Hikso’s original painting.

With the first official announcements of the Dr Panda 3D animated TV series, we can finally show a sneak preview of the work we've done for the show. We were asked to create a visual 3D and character animation style based on the game Universe of Dr Panda, as well as creating all 3D characters and the first three episodes as a pilot for further production.
