Efficient Techniques and Production Processes in Game Art Outsourcing Companies
Game Art Outsourcing Studio Brings Client's Vision to Life
A game art outsourcing studio embarks on a new project by gathering relevant data and collaborating closely with the client to understand the game world and define the art style. This initial phase, known as pre-production, is crucial in setting the foundation for a successful project.
During pre-production, the studio creates concept art that is guided by a detailed style guide. This style guide ensures consistency, quality, and alignment with the game's artistic vision across all assets throughout the project. It sets visual and technical standards, helping external artists maintain style coherence and technical accuracy, which minimizes revisions and ensures a unified look.
In the production phase, tasks like modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging, and animation are performed under the supervision of art directors who enforce style guidelines and conduct quality controls. Communication is managed by project managers who provide transparency over timelines, collect feedback, and coordinate between the client and studio teams to prevent misalignments and delays.
Throughout this process, the work-in-progress art undergoes strict quality-control checks by lead artists and art directors. If the client isn't satisfied, specific issues will be discussed to improve the art. A mood board is created to confirm the interpretation of the client's vision.
The final art is presented in Step 4, ensuring the client's satisfaction. The studio delivers polished assets efficiently due to a clear visual style and well-structured pipeline. The final assets can be exported in the chosen format and handed in with original files.
The creation of a Style Guide can expedite the process when working on a large game art project. It is equally important for both 2D art outsourcing and 3D art projects. Collaboration across disciplines (concept artists, 3D modelers, animators) and integration into the client’s production pipeline is essential to deliver polished assets that fit seamlessly into the game.
The studio is ready to bring the client's game project to life and welcomes inquiries through their website. They work on various game genres, including board games, and are equipped to handle projects of all sizes, from indie to AAA.
In the process of bringing a client's game project to life, the studio utilizes smart-home-devices like gadgets to facilitate efficient communication and collaboration, enhancing technology-driven workflows. The Style Guide, an integral part of the project, ensures consistency and alignment across various gadgets and smart-home-devices used for 2D and 3D art projects, minimizing revisions and ensuring a unified look.
