Why AAA Studios Trust Thunder Cloud Studio 
In an industry where visual fidelity can make or break a blockbuster title, Thunder Cloud Studio is entrusted by many global game studios, from indie to AAA publishers. Working with some of the biggest names in gaming – including developers behind multi-million-selling franchises – Thunder Cloud consistently take efforts in optimizing budget and keep AAA-quality in game art.
Unmatched Technical and Artistic Capabilities
Thunder Cloud Studio specializes in every major discipline required for modern AAA production:

Thunder Cloud Studio brings a balanced blend of artistic craftsmanship and technical reliability across the key disciplines required for modern game production. The team is best known for its expertise in stylized and realistic art, delivering characters, environments, and assets that reflect strong visual identity and consistent quality.
The team focuses on expressive designs, clean topology, and efficient PBR workflows that adapt to each project’s style and performance targets. Texture resolution, shader complexity, and material setups are tailored to client specifications.
For environment production, the studio builds detailed, handcrafted scenes supported by procedural tools when appropriate. The goal is always world building that feels cohesive and optimized, whether for compact levels or larger game spaces, without implying a dedicated open world specialization.
Thunder Cloud’s VFX artists develop real time effects aligned with game engine constraints, primarily working within Houdini 19 and engine native toolsets. Additional tools are used selectively depending on project needs rather than as a universal pipeline.
The studio has experience delivering assets for Unreal Engine 5, Unity HDRP, and other modern workflows, adapting to each developer’s setup, naming conventions, and performance budgets. This approach ensures flexibility without overstating the use of any single technology.

Thunder Cloud Studio’s AAA game art outsourcing expertise with specialized teams across character art, environment art, animation, VFX, and technical art, ensuring each discipline is handled by artists with focused experience. The studio emphasizes collaboration and clear internal workflows that reflect a culture built on skill, consistency, and shared craft.
Proven Track Record on Released AAA Titles
The team has contributed to a wide range of international projects across PC and console platforms to mobile, supporting developers with character modeling, environment building, VFX, and cinematic production. The studio focuses on the quality of its deliverables and long term partnerships formed through reliable production support.
Production scale is adjusted based on project needs, supported by a team of over 80 artists, maintaining consistency across all outputs without overstating capacity.

Seamless Integration into Any Pipeline
Understanding that every studio has unique workflows, Thunder Cloud adapts completely:
• Adapts to client approved workflows, naming conventions, and file structures
• Supports common version control systems based on client requirements
• Uses clear communication channels such as Slack or Jira for daily coordination
• Follows structured review routines aligned with each project’s schedule
• Operates as a remote art production partner rather than offering onsite staffing

Scalability Without Sacrifice on output quality
From small task based groups of 2 to 5 artists for individual characters to larger teams of around 20-30 artists for broader environment needs, Thunder Cloud scales production based on project scope and agreed timelines. Internal review steps, consistent art direction checkpoints, and a structured QC process help maintain quality as workloads increase, without overstating the studio’s capacity.
Security and Confidentiality at a Professional Standard
Working with unreleased IP requires careful handling of assets and information. Thunder Cloud works under NDAs, follows secure access practices, and keeps project data restricted to the assigned teams. All work is done on company issued, security protected computers with password access, encrypted drives, remote wipe capability, and regular updates through the internal network. Files are stored on a dedicated company server, and access to systems requires secure VPN or multi factor authentication. Communication and meetings use official company accounts on approved platforms, and work from home is only allowed under formal company guidelines.

Future-Ready Expertise
Thunder Cloud continually evaluates and adopts new industry relevant tools and workflows when appropriate, ensuring its teams stay aligned with modern production standards. The studio focuses on applying technologies that strengthen artistic quality, improve efficiency, and support a smoother collaboration experience for clients, while keeping its pipelines flexible enough to adapt to each project’s specific needs.
