Canoe

Canoe is an international 3D animation, CGI and visual development studio founded in 2017. Based in Cyprus, it creates full CG productions, cinematic game trailers, character animation and real-time assets for video games, film, television and digital advertising. Its work brings together character artists, animators, riggers and technical directors across creative development and technical production.

The studio supports projects from early concepts and screenwriting through previsualization, production and final compositing. Its character work spans realistic, stylized and cartoon aesthetics, alongside hard-surface modeling for vehicles, weapons and other game assets. Production capabilities include sculpting, rigging, grooming, texturing, lighting, look development, effects simulation and sound engineering.

Game trailers and cinematic storytelling

Game trailers and gameplay teasers form a substantial part of Canoe’s commercial portfolio. Its credited productions include trailers and cinematics for Of Ash and Steel, announcement and gameplay trailers for Hellpoint, and a cinematic trailer for The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales. Other projects include the animated mobile game trailer Secrets of Pandoria, a trailer for the life simulator Critter Cove, and gameplay trailers and character assets for WILD League.

These productions sit alongside character-focused cinematic work such as Dead Head, Graveborn and Ninja. The portfolio encompasses cyber-mutant character modeling, stylized look development and action animation, reflecting the studio’s work across different visual styles and narrative formats.

Assets and original development

Beyond finished animation, Canoe produces high- and low-poly models and real-time assets. Its workshop portfolio includes detailed equipment, protective gear and vehicle-related models, complementing its broader character and cinematic production services.

The studio also undertakes original IP development and technical visual demonstrations. Its reported projects include The Lift, a first-person science-fiction simulator project with CGI sequences drawing on Soviet science-fiction aesthetics and SCP lore.
