game art studio for 3D

[AnanaGal]

Has anyone here worked with an outside game art studio for 3D modeling? I'm curious how well these teams can match an existing visual style and whether the final assets are worth outsourcing.

I recently needed some 3D models for a game project and decided to try an external art team instead of making everything myself. I found Game Art Studio Nasty Rodent and liked the examples in their portfolio, so I decided to give them a try. The process worked well for what I needed. We discussed the references and overall style, then went through the models and made a few changes before finalizing them. The finished assets fit the project much better than I expected, and I was genuinely happy with the result. For anyone interested, this is the studio I worked with Game Art Studio. My experience was positive, particularly when it came to getting the 3D models aligned with the visual direction of the game.
