About Splinehouse
Splinehouse was an independent computer animation banner established in 2017 by Bulgarian character animator Joro Zahariev, also known as Georgi Zahariev. It provided a creative outlet for original character-driven animation, short films, commissioned commercial work and educational demonstrations. The banner was also credited as Splinehouse Animations.
Its principal original production was Frog Bits, a series of short CGI minisodes featuring Ollie the Frog and a companion crab. The first episode, Snooze Or Lose It, appeared in May 2017 and was showcased by CGMeetup and TheCGBros. The seasonal episode Christmas Kerfuffle followed in December that year. These productions placed character performance and visual storytelling at the centre of the studio's work.
Alongside its original shorts, Splinehouse undertook freelance commercial animation. A 2018 channel reel presented commissioned work together with independent productions. Its broader output included stylized low-poly nature and character assets distributed through CGTrader and Free3D, as well as animation tutorials and technical demonstrations.
The studio's capabilities extended across character animation, modeling, texturing, rigging and pre-visualization. Its work encompassed both finished animated sequences and digital assets that other creators could use in their own projects.
Splinehouse operated as Zahariev's personal independent creative banner rather than an incorporated production company or dedicated commercial facility. It originated in Sofia, Bulgaria; Zahariev subsequently relocated to Vancouver, Canada. Independent production under the name was phased out after 2018–2019 as he moved into senior character animation roles at larger studios.
