3D Brigade – Quality Art for Games
7/13/2026
A 2002-era outsourcing studio's brochure site running on stock WordPress plugins — the entire "backend" is a contact form that emails a sales rep.
You can clone the WordPress template in an afternoon, but not 20+ years of AAA client relationships (EA, Disney, Microsoft, Activision) and a portfolio of 300+ shipped titles.
Not worth cloning as a "product" — it's a marketing shell for a services business, not software; the real value (and moat) is the artist talent pool and AAA client relationships, which a prompt cannot replicate, and the market is saturated with dozens of competing outsourcing studios all making the same pitch.
Game art outsourcing is a real and growing market (industry estimates put the global market in the $3.5-4B range with high single/double-digit CAGR), but it is intensely crowded with dozens of near-identical studios (Kevuru Games, RocketBrush, Room 8, SunStrike, RetroStyle, Winking Studios, Game-Ace, etc.) all pitching the same value proposition.
$5-20 (basic WordPress hosting + domain)
The site itself generates no direct revenue; the underlying business monetizes via bespoke service contracts and hourly/project rates for art production, not the website — cloning the page doesn't clone the studio, artists, or client trust needed to actually sell services.

Services business — no SaaS pricing tiers; revenue comes from project-based or dedicated-team art outsourcing contracts negotiated directly with game studios/publishers, not from the website.
Small, niche B2B traffic — likely a handful of thousand visits/month at most, mostly referral/direct from industry contacts; flat given the crowded, mature niche.
- Public records (MobyGames) indicate a related entity '3D Brigade Arthouse Ltd' closed in 2020, raising questions about the current operating status/legitimacy of this specific site
- Client/portfolio claims (EA, Disney, Microsoft, Activision) would need verification before reuse — implied endorsement risk
- No unique IP to protect but portfolio images may be copyrighted by original game publishers
Next.js (or plain HTML/Tailwind) + Vercel/Netlify hosting + a form service (Formspree/Resend) for contact form + optional headless CMS (Sanity) for portfolio items
Any Next.js marketing template (e.g. Vercel's 'Next.js Portfolio Starter' or a Tailwind agency landing template)
- 1.Scaffold a Next.js project and drop in a hero section with tagline + CTA
- 2.Build a portfolio/gallery grid section pulling static images or a lightweight CMS (Sanity/Contentful) for case studies
- 3.Add an 'About/History' section with founding year, client logos (EA, Disney, Microsoft, Activision) as static content
- 4.Wire the contact form to Formspree or a serverless function that emails via Resend/SendGrid
- 5.Add basic analytics (Plausible/GA) and an SEO meta pass
- 6.Deploy to Vercel with a custom domain

A prompt can trivially rebuild this: a WordPress-style brochure site with hero section, portfolio/showcase gallery, about/history blurb, and a Contact Form 7 style contact form posting to a mail handler.
Behind the scenes it's just stock WordPress plugins (Contact Form 7, Revolution Slider, WPBakery page builder) plus generic analytics/error-tracking snippets — there is no custom database, auth, or payment backend to speak of.
Clonable and beatable — the fun kind.
