FAQs

Yes – we regularly build modular kits for both engines. Our kits are structured for reusability and ease of assembly, whether you’re building levels in-editor or procedurally.
Keep performance in mind from the start – using LODs, texture streaming, instancing, and occlusion-friendly layouts. We tailor our approach to your engine’s pipeline and platform targets.
Yes – especially for complex scenes or levels. Greyboxing helps us validate scale, flow and composition before we dive into final modelling and environment build.
Yes, but with a caveat. We’re primarily an art studio, which means our absolute best work is in the creation of assets, atmosphere and gorgeous visuals. That said, we’ve built hundreds of levels and we can provide a semi-professional level guide for your level design to provide support on layout, navigation flow, and playability. Perfectly suitable for most indie games, but not recommended for multiplayer first person shooters for example. We can also work closely with your level designer. If you need basic layout support in-engine, just ask.
We primarily work in Unity and Unreal. For tools: Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, Substance, and Quixel are common in our workflow – but we adapt to your pipeline where needed.

Quality was High and Feedback Easy to Give

I asked MLC to help with Unity scenes, 3D model animations, and other small tasks, and they were really great to work with. The quality was high, feedback was easy to give, and adjustments were quickly made. It’s great that they have so many specialists on staff, it saved me the time of having to find and recruit more people, especially for small tasks.

Exceeded my Expectations

It was such a pleasure working with MLC. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. My custom 3D assets were completed and delivered much earlier than I anticipated, and MLC certainly exceeded my expectations! I would highly recommend their services and will certainly be working with them again in the near future.
