3D Art That Defines How Your World Feels
From high-poly hero characters and hand-crafted environments to cinematic cinematics and real-time optimised assets. Nine Pixels delivers 3D art that looks extraordinary and performs flawlessly in engine.
Every 3D Art Discipline. One Studio.
From high-poly sculpts to real-time optimised game assets, we cover the full 3D art pipeline across every game platform.
High-poly sculpts, retopology, rigging, and skinning, delivered as game-ready assets with LODs at every budget tier. From stylised mobile heroes to AAA-quality PC/console characters.
Modular environment kits, hero set pieces, terrain, skyboxes, and level-dressing props, designed for your engine and optimised for target platform performance from day one.
Physically-based texture sets (albedo, normal, roughness, metallic, AO) created in Substance Painter, tiled materials, unique hero asset textures, and trim sheets for modular environments.
Individual prop assets and hero objects, weapons, vehicles, furniture, loot, interactables. Built to spec with optimised geo, correct pivot points, and collision meshes ready for engine.
Character rigging with full IK/FK setups, facial blend shapes, cloth simulation, and cinematic animations, plus motion capture cleanup and retargeting for Unity and Unreal humanoid systems.
In-engine cinematics using Sequencer and Matinee, real-time VFX with Niagara and VFX Graph, and pre-rendered trailer art, from storyboard through final delivery.

The 3D Art Production Pipeline
A structured pipeline that moves from concept through to engine-ready asset with full quality control at every stage.
2D concept art, reference packs, poly budget targets, and technical delivery spec agreed before any 3D work begins.
ZBrush or Blender high-poly sculpt with full anatomical or mechanical detail, approved before retopology begins.
Game-ready retopology to agreed poly count, UVs unwrapped efficiently, LODs generated, and bake maps produced.
Full PBR texture set created in Substance Painter. Reviewed in-engine at target resolution before final approval.
FBX/glTF export, engine import tested, pivot points verified, collision set, LOD chain confirmed, ready to ship.

Every Genre. Every Audience.
150+ mobile games shipped across every major genre. We know what each one demands technically, creatively, and commercially.
Simple mechanics, addictive loops, maximum virality. We engineer hyper-casual titles optimised for Day 1 retention and ad monetisation, built fast, launched fast, scaled fast. Our hyper-casual games average top-20 chart positions within 30 days of launch.
Match-3, logic, physics, and word puzzles engineered for maximum D30 retention. We design level progressions, difficulty curves, booster systems, and IAP catalogues that keep players engaged through hundreds of levels.
Fast-paced combat, tight controls, and satisfying feedback loops. Frame-perfect input handling, fluid animation state machines, and enemy AI that creates genuine challenge without frustrating players.
Base-building, tower defence, turn-based, and 4X strategy for mobile. Deep meta-game systems, clan mechanics, and resource economies that create long-term engagement and high LTV.
Arcade racers, realistic simulations, and kart games. Vehicle physics, procedural track systems, and PvP league structures with real-time and async multiplayer modes.
City builders, tycoons, life simulators, and management games. Complex interdependent systems that feel alive and satisfying to master, with progression hooks that drive both engagement and monetisation.
Football, cricket, basketball including fully licensed titles. Authentic physics simulations, career modes, live match events, and multiplayer leagues that rival console-quality on mobile.
K-12 learning games, language apps, and skill-building tools built with genuine pedagogical frameworks. Game mechanics that reinforce the learning objective with full COPPA compliance.
Narrative-driven experiences, exploration, hidden object, and point-and-click adventures. Branching story systems, environmental storytelling, and inventory mechanics that immerse players in worlds they want to stay in.

Learn MoreWhy Studios Choose Us for 3D Art
3D art for games has unique technical demands. Here’s how we meet them.
We build to poly budget from the start, not as an afterthought. LOD chains, draw call discipline, texture atlasing, and collision mesh generation are part of every asset delivery, not extras.
We understand shader graphs, skinned mesh renderers, and engine import pipelines. Our 3D artists deliver FBX files that import cleanly and perform correctly, no tech-artist rework required.
Concept art, sculpting, retopology, texturing, rigging, and animation, one studio, one point of contact, no handoff risk between vendors. Style stays consistent from sculpt to final in-engine asset.
We always produce and approve a pilot asset, reviewed in your engine at target resolution before the full production pipeline begins. No budget wasted on assets that miss the brief.
3D Art & Animation Toolset
Industry-standard 3D software and the engine knowledge to deliver game-ready assets in every format.
