Over the past two years, we’ve had the privilege of working on World of Tanks Blitz, contributing hundreds of ultra-optimized tank models. This project came with a unique set of challenges, but it also became a success story that highlighted our strength as one of the top-performing external teams on the title.

A Demanding Pipeline with Unique Constraints
World of Tanks Blitz is known for its strict technical limitations. Each vehicle had to be delivered within an ultra-low poly budget — just 4,000–5,000 triangles per tank, including all attachments and visual variations. Every polygon mattered.

In most cases, it takes an artist six months or more to fully adapt to the project’s unique visual and technical style. The learning curve is steep, and early feedback cycles are often intense. Yet, we managed to overcome this challenge at scale.

From Bottlenecks to a Scalable Pipeline
What made this possible was our internal focus on structured knowledge transfer.

Instead of relying on one-by-one onboarding, we built step-by-step internal documentation tailored specifically for the needs of World of Tanks Blitz. These guides were detailed, visual, and constantly updated based on feedback from our leads and the client.

This approach allowed us to onboard new artists quickly and effectively, cutting the typical ramp-up period down to a fraction of the standard timeline. As a result, we were able to scale up the team rapidly without sacrificing quality or consistency — a rare feat on a project of this complexity.

Delivering Quality at Scale
To put the volume in perspective: producing just one tank of this quality and optimization level can take up to two months. Despite that, we delivered hundreds of models, proving our ability to operate a large-scale, high-efficiency production pipeline under tight constraints.

We’re proud not only of the visual results, but of the operational excellence our team demonstrated. From junior artists to seasoned veterans, each member contributed to a shared goal — delivering clean, beautiful work within strict limits.

Thank You to Wargaming
We’re grateful to the team at Wargaming for the trust, support, and collaboration throughout the project. World of Tanks Blitz gave us the opportunity to push our limits and prove that high quality and high volume can go hand in hand — when backed by the right team and the right process.
