Testimonials
PopcornFX technology gave us an immediate powerful feature rich VFX solution for both runtime and editor. This saved over a year of work of having to write our own solution from scratch. Their support options were invaluable for ship, being involved in custom profiling and tailor made optimization endeavors across many platforms. Their work was diligent, timely and impactful to our project.Lead Engineer, Diablo II: Resurrected
For a small studio like ours, but with a high level of artistic and technical ambition, it was important to find a partner able to meet this requirement. The teams of PopcornFX have largely fulfilled this contract, sometimes even exceeding our expectations by contributing largely to the creation of ``Century age of ashes``, without them the game would not have had the same success. The exchanges and the creative emulation between our teams were more than fruitful. The PopcornFX team was able to understand and adapt to our universe, our artistic direction, and our technical constraints, while adapting to our sometimes very short production deadlines. We hope to continue this collaboration for a long time to come and create new games together.Art Director-studio manager- PlaywingLTD
PopcornFX made many people happy across the whole studio. With the power of templates mechanism we were able to dramatically decrease an amount of manual technical setup effort in favor of focusing on the quality and richness of visual effects. PopcornFX's data-driven design made us able to expose game-specific effects' parameters directly into the game editor with, basically, a single click, which allowed our game designers to easily configure game mechanics supporting visuals without digging deep into each effect innards.Technical Director, Shatterline
PopcornFX significantly enhances our franchise's visuals, empowering artists with tools and consistent support for creative exploration, while minimizing production risks.WWE2K23
