About
A small studio with a big history
Awesome Dog Studio is an independent UK studio. We make games, we capture professional dance and gesture animation, and we create content for virtual worlds. We've been at it for more than twenty years.
Our story
-
2004
Abranimations® opens in Second Life
We start creating dances, gestures and 3D content for virtual worlds. Our Second Life store is still trading today, one of the oldest there.

Then
Awesome Dog Mocap
Our own optical motion capture studio, recording professional dancers and actors. The animation library now sells to game developers and animators on Fab.

Now
Awesome Dog Studio
We're making our own games, starting with SHEP: Save the Flock.
How we capture
Every animation starts with a real person. Professional dancers and actors perform in our optical motion capture studio, and we then clean, process and loop the data so it's ready to drop into a project.
Many of our packs began as motion we recorded for our own projects. We've since released them so other game developers, animators and film makers can use them too.
