How to Create VFX Assets that Artists Love: Lessons from Us at ActionVFX
As a leading provider of VFX assets, we at ActionVFX have built a reputation for quality and innovation in the industry. Our success is rooted in a deep understanding of what artists need to create stunning visuals. Here are the key lessons from our approach that can help you become a successful contributor that creates assets that resonate with the VFX community.
Prioritize quality, excellence and professionalism
We revolutionized the market by offering assets filmed on cinema cameras, setting a new standard for quality. As the industry shifts and expands, we look to follow this same path with regard to 3D assets such as VDBs, models and more.
When contributing to our library, invest time in understanding our technical standards to ensure your assets meet the demands of professional artists.
Also, realize that we don't just deliver good products for our customers. We deliver great products. Progressing a project from good to great requires feedback, refinement, and hard work. It's a what sets us apart, and we hope you are ready to walk with us in this journey of excellence.
Cater to a wide range of needs
We provide a diverse but growing library. As you develop assets for us, consider how they fit into our ecosystem and complement our existing offerings to give artists a comprehensive suite of tools.
For example, if you are creating a set of explosion VFX assets, think about how they can be used in various contexts, such as in games, films, or TV shows. Consider including variations in scale, intensity, and visual style to cater to different project requirements. What are the details that set them apart?
When it comes to 3D models, pay close attention to the level of detail, topology, and texturing. Our customers expect models that have clean topology and high-quality textures that can hold up under close scrutiny. If you're creating a series of related models, such as a set of sci-fi weapons, tech labs or futuristic cityscapes, consider how they can be used together to create cohesive scenes and narratives.
By offering a well-rounded set of assets that seamlessly integrate with our existing library, you'll be providing artists with the flexibility and versatility they need to bring their creative visions to life.

We foster a strong connection with the artists who use our assets. Our success is a testament to the support of our early Kickstarter backers. Join our Discord, visit our Featurebase page, and start connecting with the artists you'll be serving.
