Kroftle Studios

Kroftle Studios is a boutique 3D animation, visual effects asset development and game art studio based in Surat, India. It works with domestic and international production partners across film, episodic animation, video games, advertising and attraction media. Alongside commissioned production, the studio develops original animated content.

Its work spans the asset production process, from concept design and modeling through texturing, grooming, rigging, animation, lighting and compositing. The studio creates both stylized and photorealistic assets, including characters, creatures, digital doubles, vehicles, props and environments. Production work ranges from detailed individual assets to sets and environments prepared for animation or real-time implementation.

Production capabilities

For film and television, Kroftle provides creature development, environment modeling, set extensions, look development and CG vehicle replacements. Its game art services cover characters, weapons, vehicles, environment blockouts, level dressing, materials, rigs and animation. The studio supports physically based and hand-painted texturing, as well as asset optimization for Unreal Engine and Unity. Product and architectural visualization extend its work into assets intended for AR and VR applications.

Its film portfolio includes environment assets for Pathaan and Shamshera, produced through yFX, creature asset development for Captain, and a CG vehicle replacement for Radhe. Animated production contributions include asset development for Ninjala - Ninja-Gum is Born, set modeling and character texturing for Dogtanian and The Three Muskehounds, and modeling, texturing and rigging for The Legend of Hanuman. These contributions reflect its role as an external asset production partner within larger production teams.

Original animation

Kroftle also creates its own animated properties. The Hog is an original CGI slapstick comedy series with shorts including Breakfast, Mirror and Illusion. Swadesi Stories explores animated storytelling based on classical folklore. This original development sits alongside the studio's outsourced production work, bringing its character, environment and animation capabilities into internally developed projects.
