The Aaron Sims Company is a fully-equipped character design studio for film, TV and video games. We can provide a simple concept sketch of a character, a fully-rendered image or a 3D model which can then be integrated into a scene, utilized for pre-visualization, or used to sell a story with stunning imagery to complete the vision.
Our range of services includes:
- Images and designs
- Photoshop, pencil sketches, 3D Renders that create amazing visual references
- In most cases, we can deliver fully-textured 3D models, saving VFX from rebuilding designs while also protecting the filmmaker’s vision by utilizing approved designs for the actual animation and pre-visualization.
This format of using 3D models for production through the design process has been used on Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Constantine, The Incredible Hulk and The Mummy 3. These models can also be immediately utilized by production for:
- Pre-visualization, where 3D models can be imported and used to create test animatics with character detail
- Research & development, where 3D models can help to show the design from any angle, helping to visualize all aspects of the character
- Physical production, where data from the models can be used for milling out a hard copy which can then be used for presentation and/or by the make-up effects house and prop department
