Everyone knows of Pixar and ILM but there are plenty of great CG animation studios loaded with talent and producing some great work for TV, film and games. Here are a few I’ve run across, by all means add any of your own in comments.

Blur created my favourite game intro of all time, the superb Blood Ravens versus Orks battle that opens the equally superb Dawn of War. They’ve also done CG for Spiderman 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Unreal Championship and a bunch of other games as well as some amusing CG shorts.

Zoic are CG machines. They’ve done Buffy, Angel, Firefly and their crowning achievement is clearly the uniquely stylish and spectacular space battles in Battlestar Galactica.

Rust Monkey created the movies seen throughout the Thief trilogy. Their work still stands as some of the most uniquely stylised game cinematics I’ve yet seen. These are the guys responsible for them.

All of these guys have demo reels of their work, go see for yourself.
