The creation of the MetaNano CGI creatures was a collaborative effort, bringing together 8 animators, 2 concepters, 2 modelers, and a generalist artist. The process began with concepting the creatures’ unique look and anatomy. Once finalized, the modeling team started sculpted.

Next, the creatures were textured and shaded, adding materials, surface details and 4 additional variations. As Animation was needed, rigging was a given, setting the stage for the animators to breathe life into each creature. Specific Lighting enhanced the cinematic quality, making the creatures feel tangible and immersive.

Finally, the project came together in compositing and a few cinematics, where all elements —animation, effects, and environments — were seamlessly integrated into polished, visually striking short films. The result showcases the MetaNano creatures and their personalities.
