About Nozon
Nozon is a Belgian visual effects and 3D animation studio established in Brussels in 1998. Its production history spans advertising, feature films, animated television, music videos and immersive entertainment, combining character animation with photorealistic CGI and digital compositing.
The studio’s work ranges from animated creatures and digital environments to product visualisation and commercial packshots. Its production capabilities have included character design, animation, on-set VFX supervision, pipeline consultation and digital finishing. Advertising projects have involved collaborations with directors and production companies on campaigns for brands including Spa, Oppo, Ikea, Huawei and Babybio.
Animation and immersive production
Nozon contributed animation and visual effects to Minuscule: Valley of the Lost Ants, alongside work on the second season of Minuscule and CG elements for Minuscule: Mandibles from the Far Away. Its music-video portfolio includes VFX and character animation for Stromae’s Ta Fête. These projects sit alongside a substantial commercial portfolio covering character-led storytelling, product imagery and environmental effects.
Research and development became another significant part of the company’s history. In 2015, Nozon unveiled PresenZ, its proprietary volumetric virtual reality technology, extending its work beyond conventional screen-based visual effects into immersive CGI experiences.
Ownership and recent history
Starbreeze acquired Nozon in October 2016, with PresenZ central to the acquisition. Following Starbreeze’s restructuring, Belgian post-production group THE PACK acquired Nozon in 2019 and integrated its work into a broader production network.
On August 19, 2025, the Brussels Enterprise Court opened bankruptcy proceedings for Nozon’s Belgian legal entity. As of the November 2026 research, its website remains online as a portfolio and brand showcase managed through THE PACK, which handles ongoing commercial inquiries. The continuing online presence therefore accompanies a company in bankruptcy liquidation.
More about Nozon
Founders and historical leadership
- Christian Delhaye and Xavier Leconte founded the studio. Later leadership included Tristan Salomé, Chris Mascarello and Michaël de Coninck; the report does not establish these as current executive roles.
Production technology and collaboration
- PresenZ was developed as a rendering engine and plugin for Autodesk 3ds Max and Chaos V-Ray. It enabled pre-rendered CGI experiences with six degrees of freedom and interactive parallax, combining rendered image quality with tracked viewer movement.
- Under Starbreeze, Nozon worked to integrate PresenZ into location-based VR initiatives, including StarVR and IMAX VR centres.
- Its historical Liège expansion supported regional animation co-productions and access to Wallimage production funding.
