Frequently asked questions

We get a lot of questions about animation services from our clients. So we decided to get them all together and create a unit where you could learn everything in detail.

What Is Game Animation?

The process of adding movement to all of a game’s visuals is known as video game animation. For instance, it could be the animation of inanimate things or video game characters. You can get game animation services from expert animation outsourcing vendors like Stepico. It comes in two forms: 2D and 3D animation.

What is a 2D animation? With cutting-edge animation software, 2D animation entails animating characters, objects, and storyboards in a two-dimensional environment to make them move. 2D objects can move in four ways only: up and down, right and left. A wider array of movements calls for a 3D animation.

What is a 3D animation? The method of making animated things in three-dimensional space is known as 3D animation. 3D characters may walk forward and backward in contrast to 2D ones, giving the player more options in the game. Characters’ personalities, moods, actions, and backgrounds are conveyed through more stylized and intricate images created by 3D animators.

Additionally, due to the high user engagement rate, 3D animation is more striking and provides better income for game production companies. To get outstanding results with 3D animation (and 2D, too!), you have to hire high-profile specialists with an extensive portfolio. And we may be just the ones you need! Let’s talk about your idea!

What Is VFX Used for in Games?

Artists use VFX to make a wow effect for the game. Thanks to VFX artists, games have bam, wham, crash, and wallop effects. They make anything that moves but isn’t a character or defined object. They design superpowers, water, dust, explosions, and many more. A raging tornado, thick fog, or colossal explosion are just a scrap of VFX services artists provide.

VFX outsourcing is an excellent option for you if you’re looking for the WOW effect. Powerful Stepico artists can produce any visual effect you can imagine and make your game unforgettable!
