Studios had to learn and train their teams to adopt these completely new workflows, shifting traditional 2D artists to 3D pipelines.
While starting as outsourcing and post-production service companies, they gradually became more proficient in the art of 3D, with a myriad of small and larger companies making up the CG ecosystem in India.

It was hard to find trained talent. That was the toughest challenge. But it has been a labor of love. Lots of learning. Lots of joy. And the journey continues.
Framestore is an invaluable partner and investor in Anibrain. We have a lot of similarities in our approach to the industry. Anibrain is proud to be an Indian company and equally proud to have a partner like Framestore.
