We can provide the technical services to allow small studios to leverage cutting-edge capabilities without investing in-house resources.
“I wish I could just push a button and automate that…”
In-house Technical Directors and programmers are the secret sauce behind the ability of large studios to create such impressive and large animations. They build custom tools, plugins, and scripts that help automate and connect things, taking their animations to the next level.
But what about small studios and freelancers who can't afford to hire their own in-house technical gurus? That's where WE come in! In addition to decades of experience in 3D and motion graphics, Punky has a strong background in programming. We can build custom tools, plugins, and scripts for popular software like Houdini, Cinema 4D, and almost all Adobe products.
So, whether you're a small studio or a freelancer, don't let limited resources hold you back from creating mind-blowing 3D animations. Let us help you streamline your workflow and take your animations to the next level with custom tools, plugins, and scripts. Get in touch today to learn more about how we can help bring your vision to life!

Some samples of our tech development
supermask
Super Mask is a Cinema 4D plugin that adds a custom tag. The tag creates a shot mask with customisable text fields for the Cinema 4D viewport.
Super Mask allows customisation of colour, fonts, font size and a watermark or branding image.
Application - Cinema 4d
Coding - Python

Supertext
Text in Houdini is pretty basic and not very motion-graphics friendly. Supertext is a Houdini HDA that bundles all the standard motion graphics type needs, like extrusions and bevels, and cleans up the font geometry. It can even take a vector file or curves as an input instead of a font or caN BE FED point attributes to generate the text.
Application - Houdini
