XO3D Studio · News
What's happening at the studio.
Awards, press features, speaking engagements, and the community work XO3D supports.
This is XO3D's dated studio record: talks, sponsorships, project write-ups and coverage, newest first. Each card keeps the date it was first published, so an older entry describes the studio as it was at the time. Where an entry mentions a coming season or event, it means the one at the time of writing.
For awards and press features with links to where they were first published, see press and recognition with original sources. For the projects themselves, the case studies hold the full production record.
