Rebuild Native

Design studio · game art & 3D

We build worlds, and everything that lives in them.

Rebuild Native is a design studio for game art and 3D objects. Creatures, buildings, vehicles, whole maps and the interfaces around them — drawn, modelled, textured and brought to life in the engine.

What we make

  1. Emberfox waving from a ledge over a turquoise bay, with waterfalls, coral and a stone bridge behind — a Brismania welcome scene

    Characters & creatures

    Companions with a personality: seventy-five Brissies so far, each with its own element and moves, modelled in 3D and waving hello from painted scenes.

  2. Cozy City RTS design sheet: the Sunhearth Union's Solar Harmonic Generator, Fabrication Workshop and Defense Turret; the Mossglade Kin's Lifebloom Generator, Grovement Factory and Canopy Turret; the Moonveil Collective's Orbital Resonance Generator, Convergence Foundry and Gravitic Turret, each hand-labelled

    Buildings & props

    Every building is worked out on paper first. Each faction gets a generator, a workshop and a turret, and each one gets a name, a job and a line of character before the first polygon.

  3. The Emberguard, a Sunhearth heavy tank in ivory and copper with twin cannons and sun-crested hover pods

    Vehicles & units

    Tanks, walkers, artillery and aircraft for three factions, each with its own shape language, designed front and back before they are modelled.

  4. Brismania on an iPhone: Amsterdam's canals, gabled houses and trees built as a 3D world from the real street map

    Worlds & maps

    Real streets turned into a world to walk: canals, gables and trees built from the map around you, in Brismania's Amsterdam.

  5. Brismania's explore screen: an explorer card, a Brissies-nearby list, zoom buttons and a tab bar over the canal map

    Game interfaces

    Explorer cards, nearby lists, map controls and the tab bar, drawn by the same hand as the world they sit on.

Brismania · iOS game

Creatures for a walking adventure

Brismania is a location-based game: you walk the real streets of your city, and the Brissies walk with you. We design them — seventy-five so far, across fire, frost, storm, water, grove, stone, magic, shadow, light and dark matter — each with its own moves, and the canal-side world they live in.

Cozy City · buildings

A village in warm timber and terracotta

Markets, mills, watchtowers and homes, and the lanterns and paths between them. We drew every Cozy City building in one warm palette, so a village always looks like it grew there.

Cozy City RTS · in development

Three factions, one cosy war

Cozy City is becoming a real-time strategy game. Sunhearth, Mossglade and Moonveil each field their own tanks, walkers, artillery and aircraft — ivory and copper, moss and leaf, moonstone and violet — each designed front and back, then modelled and driven in Unreal.

From first sketch to the engine

  1. Concept

    Every piece starts as a drawing: its shape, its palette and its job in the game, seen from the front and the back.

  2. Model & texture

    The drawing becomes a 3D model with textures that hold up close, and lighter versions for when it is far away.

  3. Rig & animate

    Skeletons, idle loops and moving parts — turrets that turn, wings that fold — so it feels alive, not just placed.

  4. In the engine

    Delivered into Unity, Unreal or Blender and tested in the game it was made for, not only in a render.
