OUR SERVICES:
Vehicle and prop design is the process of creating mechanically believable hard-surface assets, from spaceships to functional in-game props, ready for 3D production. NUEN STUDIO manages this pipeline end-to-end, from initial 2D ideation sketches to finalized 3D model block-outs, for franchises such as Star Trek: Prodigy.
Clients who trusted our service: Toadman Interactive, Nickelodeon, Starbreeze Entertainment.
“The introduction process from the art direction we set up to nailing the tone took no time at all, which is great. It shows that Nuen has an amazing talent for understanding the ideas and execute it perfectly! It was a great experience working with them!”

USS PROTOSTAR — VEHICLE DESIGN
For Star Trek: Prodigy, NUEN STUDIO conceptualized and engineered the iconic USS Protostar starship.
Working from early 2D ideation to the final 3D model block-out, we delivered the vessel’s exterior design and key internal props, providing the client with a precise visual asset package optimized for immediate production layout and animation.
PROTOSTAR COMMAND BRIDGE — CORE SET & PROP DESIGN
NUEN STUDIO designed the heavily featured command bridge for Star Trek: Prodigy. Our team developed the entire interior architecture, including the control consoles, functional props, and the iconic captain's chair. Moving from initial sketches to the final 3D block-out, we delivered a precise spatial framework that anchored the show's main setting and streamlined the animation pipeline.
GAME PROP DESIGN & STUDIO ARCHIVES
This collection brings together premium game prop designs created for a shelved client project and internal creative sprints. From interactive world-building assets to complex machinery, these concepts demonstrate our end-to-end pipeline in crafting high-fidelity, functional props tailored for modern gaming pipelines.
