Current Projects
Welcome to our first project, 'Tim and Bash'!
In this venture, we designed, created, and animated an adorable baby dragon that combines realism with charm. Using advanced fur dynamics and innovative VFX production techniques, we bring Bash to life, allowing us to explore augment reality techniques and capture his magic while filming.
