FREDD Studios

Creative

Visuals, interfaces and motion, led by Riccardo.

Riccardo Trevisan shapes how FREDD's work looks and moves: 3D characters and worlds, visual design, UI/UX and animation. The pieces on this page are from the studio's own games.

Three monkey characters at different ages, from baby to elder, standing in rolling fog
Evolution scene: one character at three ages, lit for the fog.

Four disciplines, one eye.

The 3D work is what we can show here. The interfaces and motion live inside the games and their site, stupidmonkeys.io.

3D characters and worlds
Modelling, texturing, lighting and rendering for games and key art.
Visual design
Brand, illustration and the look of a product, from first mood board to final asset.
Interfaces

Rough first, then finish.

You see the shape of the work before the detail goes in, so changes happen while they are cheap.

  1. 01

    Brief and references

    What the piece is for, where it will live, the references you like and the deadline.

    A one-page brief we both sign off

  2. 02

    Blockout, wireframe or animatic

    The rough version first: proportions, layout or timing, with no detail to get attached to.

    A rough you can react to in days

  3. 03

    Finish and deliver

    Final modelling, design or animation, then the files in the formats the brief asked for.

    Final files, source included

File formats, rigging and polycount targets are agreed per project in the brief.
