CGI & 3D Animation

China's CGI and 3D animation scene grew fast across the Wandering Earth cycle and the Creation of the Gods Trilogy. Our planning matches global shoots with the studios best suited to the brief. More VFX in Beijing handles character-led hero work on Frant Gwo–scale sci-fi. Base FX runs the cross-border feature pipeline built on Pacific Rim and Game of Thrones. Pixomondo Beijing finishes shots across its global network, while MacroGraph and Bottleship VFX cover mid-scale episodic CG. On the dedicated animation side, we turn to Light Chaser Animation in Shanghai and Original Force Beijing.

Character animation, look development, and large-scale environment builds have routed through these houses. That work spans Wandering Earth I and II, The Great Wall, Three-Body Problem, and the Creation of the Gods trilogy. It gives the Chinese talent pool deep experience on both Hollywood-pipeline collaborations and domestic blockbusters. We brief in Mandarin and English and manage asset turnovers against the offline cut. Review cycles run through ftrack, Shotgrid, or Frame.io, with proxies served inside China to keep iteration fast under cross-border bandwidth. We align milestones with NRTA review windows, CFA theatrical dates, and global streaming masters, which ship through Tencent Video, iQIYI, Youku, and Bilibili alongside Western platforms.

Modelling, texturing, and look-development pipelines run Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini, Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Blender, and Substance Painter. Rigging and animation teams train at Beijing Film Academy's VFX track, China Academy of Art Hangzhou, Sichuan Fine Arts, and Tsinghua Academy of Arts and Design. Many are veterans of global-pipeline tours at Base FX or Pixomondo Beijing who returned home to lead domestic shows.

Photorealistic rendering uses Arnold, V-Ray, and Redshift. Unreal Engine 5 is now central to virtual-production tie-ins at Hengdian World Studios, Qingdao Wanda, and the Shanghai Songjiang Film Industrial Park LED volumes, with Disguise driving on-set previs and camera tracking. Foxrenderfarm and Renderpool Beijing handle peak capacity at rates that beat Brazil and India. Our team manages co-production forms through NRTA, CNIPA copyright filings, MCSC music rights, and the 17% VAT structure. We also handle cross-border data under the Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, and PIPL when assets move offshore. Final delivery covers DPX or EXR sequences for finishing, ProRes masters for streaming, and submission packages for the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers (Best VFX), and the Asia Cinema Awards when a project warrants festival positioning.
