We move gamers with our digital doubles. We move producers by giving them rigs they know will work perfectly. We move animators and artists by giving them rigs that guarantee their characters will react realistically and deliver their performances.
We can do this because we are producers and animators, programmers and artists - a blend of technical and creative. We are unique. We are Humain.
Before Humain, the various members of our team created the rigs for iconic characters at world leading studios. We shaped our skills in facial animation, working with psychologists and world leading specialists in FACS. Four years of R&D has led to the creation of EKER, our robust framework for developing facial and body rigs for characters.
We are Problem Solvers. It’s our job to help your artists deliver great performances, so we look at every project holistically. We start by defining the problem, then create a solution to fit your unique pipeline.
We are Empathetic. We have been there - we understand. With over two decades working at a high level within the industry, we know the problems a producer can face, so we make sure our character tool kits and rigs are animation-ready and problem-free across multiple LODs and platforms.
We are Curious. We can't stop ourselves looking into the future. So, we invest in the right people and resources, because the digital spirit never stops evolving.
