About CG Lux Production S.A.

Founded in Luxembourg in January 2009, CG Lux Production S.A. developed animation, visual effects and immersive media for film, television and interactive projects. Operating publicly as CGLux or CG Lux, the studio combined detailed creative production with the technical demands of rendering, character simulation and stereoscopic workflows. Its work spanned European animated features, international co-productions and live-action productions.

Animation and visual effects

The studio's animation capabilities covered character animation, modeling, texturing, shading and rendering, alongside complete 2D and 3D production pipelines. Its visual effects work included CGI assets, live-action integration, digital compositing and supervision for feature films and television.

CG Lux contributed set modeling and texturing to Mr Hublot, which received the 2014 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. It also supplied set modeling, texturing and shading for Minuscule: Valley of the Lost Ants, recipient of the 2015 César Award for Best Animated Film. These awards recognized the films rather than the studio itself.

Other contributions included visual effects, compositing and 3D assets for The Congress, Bye Bye Germany, Night of the 1000 Hours and Never Grow Old. Its portfolio also included visual effects for A Monster in Paris and Mood Indigo, television compositing for Clash of Futures 1918–1938, and modeling for Tall Tales from the Magical Garden of Antoon Krings.

Immersive and technical production

During the mid-to-late 2010s, CG Lux expanded into virtual reality, augmented reality and 3D volumetric painting. Its immersive production services extended from conceptual design through 360° and 3D shooting, stitching, assembly and post-production. Projects included Finding Jacob / Forest VR and humanitarian experiences developed with Handicap International.

Beyond entertainment, the studio offered architectural and engineering geovisualization. This work applied its modeling and visualization capabilities to technical subjects alongside its animation and screen-production services.
