True 3D witch

Azucena has an extraordinary natural talent for light, volume, and color. She probably has more CGI talents, but she doesn’t want to scare us.

Sometimes she makes little masterpieces only for practice and to learn new techniques. We believe that she will soon become a true 3D witch.

If she can do these wonders now as a young promise, what will she do in the future?… We assume that she will end up being the boss :)

All-round artist

Liu Chen Li is a director and an all-round artist, and his talent is developed in all areas of animation (even in UVs, yes). So, whenever a project needs that extra touch of quality, we like to count on him.

What surprises us and what we like the most about Liu is that after work he still has time to make amazing projects. For example, these NFT robots that he makes every day, almost like a small personal challenge. We are not complaining, who doesn’t want to see a new cool robot every day?

Cartoon Life

Thais Freire is made and lives for cartoon illustration. She has dedicated so many hours to drawing that she has ended up melting with a magic pencil that a witch gave her.

The good thing is that she doesn’t have to sharpen it. On the downside, if you catch her in a bad mood, she can turn you into a cartoon character with just a couple of strokes. But don’t worry, it’s very difficult to bother her, she’s usually too busy drawing cool stuff like this.

Powerful artist

Rubén Rey has proven to be one of the most potent Antaruxer; his talent shines too bright; he is like a small sun (or like a flashlight with many lumens).

For us, it is too late, his art has enchanted us, but the truth is nothing terrible and not itchy.

So if you also want to see his magic, take a look at the fan arts he does in his spare time; you will know that they are on another human level.

Talk about digital content and new media

Last April 28th 2022 we had the pleasure to talk about digital content and new media at AGADIC (Axencia Galega das Industrias Culturais) together with other colleagues from the sector.

The purpose of this conference was to explain and share our experience in the creation of 3D modelling, computer graphics, animation, motion graphics and much more.

We would like to thank AGADIC (Xunta de Galicia) and Mundos Digitales for organising the event. We would also like to thank the other participants: Avestudio, Urbansimulation, Manu Viqueira and Parrocha Studio (and Cormorán VFX although he couldn’t come). It has been a pleasure to meet you and share ideas.

Let’s hope that these meetings will continue to be promoted, although next time there must be some beer in between.

Reed more about the event here.
