Digital Model Creative

Digital Model Creative is an independent Canadian studio specializing in character, creature, animal and robotic assets for visual effects and games. Based in Quebec’s greater Montreal region, it develops digital assets for feature films, episodic television, game cinematics, advertising, premium collectibles and experiential productions. Founded in 2018 as Kreaturz, the business reorganized under its current name in 2020.

Its work spans the development of an asset from early visual ideas through detailed modeling, surfacing and preparation for animation. Concept services include creature ideation, orthographic designs and rapid digital sculpts. Production work covers high-resolution sculpting, subdivision topology, UV mapping, texture painting and shader setup, alongside lower-resolution assets optimized for game engines and AR/VR applications.

Creature and character development

The studio combines anatomical modeling with deformation and performance preparation. Its capabilities include facial blendshapes, FACS-based rigging, muscle simulation, hair, fur and feather grooming, and motion capture preparation and cleanup. This range supports both photorealistic creatures and characters intended for real-time environments. It also offers external asset art direction, modeling pipeline consulting and team mentorship.

Digital Model Creative’s projects illustrate applications across screen production, games and physical collectibles. Working under the Kreaturz name, it modeled three principal characters for Ubisoft’s Roller Champions E3 presentation. Its collaboration with Prime 1 Studio on the Jurassic Legacy collectible line extended creature development into dinosaur maquettes and statues associated with the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchises.

Other documented work includes topology, digital-double sculpting and transformation blendshapes for William Birkin in Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, along with character modeling and asset supervision for the Celestials sequence in Eternals. These projects reflect the studio’s focus on specialized asset development within larger production pipelines, contributing defined modeling, look-development and deformation work alongside commissioning studios and production partners.
