Handy Creative Co. is a 3D design studio specialising in the creation of digital models for use in high-end visualisations, dynamic motion graphics and functional designs engineered for fabrication. Our work spans industries ranging from entertainment and advertising, to product design and architecture.

About us

We are a small family-run team working to assist our clients within the world of 3D design. Typically serving other artists, fabricators, model-makers, brands and creative agencies, we help to simplify the digital design process by handling each stage with a fabrication-focused approach. We are able to offer concept development, original 3D asset creation, adaptation of existing models, and the production of high-end visualisations. From there we can prepare files optimised for manufacturing, before handing over to fabricators. Overall we aim to add value to our clients' projects through this improved ideation-to-production efficiency, while providing creative solutions that have a playful quality and a professional edge.

3D Modelling

Our extensive fabrication experience allows us to offer technical 3D-modelling and digital sculpting services with production in mind from the very beginning of the design process. We can work with 3D scan data and other types of information, or create original assets optimised for 3D printing or CNC milling, and we can recommend competitively-priced manufacturing partners who can help bring your project to life.

Animation

3D animation can aid storytelling and add a dynamic and engaging quality to your project. It can also be a powerful tool for communicating complex ideas, showcasing design functionality, and leaving a lasting impression with your audience. Whatever kind of animation you need - we can help.

Illustration

We are equipped to offer a wide range of both creative and technical illustration services. From character design and concept art, to intricate diagrams and site maps, we can produce artwork that adds personality and elevates your project, while communicating important information clearly. With a background in both traditional and digital illustration our team can help your project stand out and connect with your audience. 

  • What services does Handy Creative Co. offer?
    We offer 3D modelling and digital sculpting, prop design, custom sculpture design, fabrication engineering, 3D rendering and animation, architectural visualisation, digital and traditional illustration, and more.
  • Who do you work with?
    We support individuals and businesses including designers, artists, fabricators, set designers, game developers, filmmakers, creative marketing agencies, and anyone else in need of high-quality 3D design.
  • Do you work with international clients?
    Yes! We work remotely with clients worldwide and can communicate via instant messaging, email, video calls, and project management tools.
  • How much do your services cost?
    Our pricing varies based on project complexity, but we are happy to tailor a project to suit a budget. Contact us today for a custom quote.
  • How does a typical project unfold?
    We start with an initial consultation to identify deliverables in your brief and provide you with a cost estimate, followed by concept development, asset creation, appropriate revisions, and delivery of final files. Every project is informed by client needs and the overall scope can be largely dictated by the budget and timeframe available.
  • How long does a project take?
    Timelines vary based on project complexity; most take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, but some can span months or years. Let us know your deadline, and we’ll work to meet it.
  • Can you create a digital model from an existing object?
    Absolutely - we can work from the object itself, or from photos and measurements, to create a digital model that can be used for creative imagery, animation, or reproduction at any scale.
  • Can you process my existing 3D model and prepare it for fabrication?
    Yes. Before a model can be fabricated, the file needs to be cleaned, fixed and processed in a way that is appropriate for the method of manufacturing. We specialise in preparing digital models for 3D-printing and CNC milling, and have experience with designing objects of varying scales, from delicate jewellery all the way up to monumental statues and everything in between. We can work with your fabrication partner to ensure they get exactly what they need, or we'll be happy to recommend a fabricator who can help bring your project to life.
  • Do you ever create 3D models that don't need fabricating?
    Yes, we can work with you to digitally model anything, regardless of whether or not it is going to be fabricated. From the models we produce we can generate 3D imagery and animations that never need to be physically realised in order to be appreciated by an audience. Digital assets can be invaluable for telling stories, visualising complex ideas, and shaping brand identities.
  • What animation services do you offer?
    We can produce animations and motion graphics for various purposes. Whether you have existing 3D assets to be animated, or need original assets created, we can assemble a 3D scene and choreograph a visual narrative that you can help to direct. We are able to provide early stage story-boarding to plan out your animation, and suggest creative and interesting ways to present your ideas, before developing and rendering the finished product.
  • What illustration services do you offer?
    Our artists are able to create both creative and technical illustrations for a variety of purposes. With experience creating artwork for the music and event industries, fashion design, and modular asset creation for NFTs, our technical ability and visual language have a wide range of illustrative applications. Whether you need a complex site map or a playful album cover, we can help.
