Shobu11 is a football quiz PvP game where players compete by answering soccer questions. As their 3D production partner, we helped the team scale a character customization/shop experience with game-ready modular avatars and animations.
The main challenge was building a truly modular character system that stays stable under many outfit combinations and still works with specific gameplay animations. Heads, tops, bottoms, hats, and accessories had to swap cleanly without clipping or intersections, then export as optimized GLB assets ready for engine use.
We delivered optimized modular 3D characters, tailored animation sets, and a production workflow that enforces compatibility rules, shape keys, and combination limits. This included custom football-celebration animations inspired by iconic Ronaldo and Mbappe moments, adapted to the modular rigs. We also automated Blender-to-GLB export with Python and aligned the output for developer-side auto-import into the shop pipeline, turning a fragile manual process into a repeatable system.
We defined modular rules for part compatibility so each hair, top, and accessory works together without breaking silhouettes or rig assumptions. This foundation made large-scale combination output predictable for production.
We produced and organized modular part libraries for tops and accessories to support broad style variation. Every module was built for quick swapping and consistent visual quality across permutations.
We delivered a low poly mesh pass optimized for in-game performance while preserving character readability and modular compatibility. The mesh structure was tuned to support smooth animation and efficient runtime usage across outfit combinations.
We automated Blender-to-GLB export with Python so modular parts, outfit variants, shape keys, and compatibility limits are packaged consistently every time. With developer-side auto-import to the shop, publishing new hair, tops, bottoms, hats, accessories, and even animations became a streamlined workflow built for rapid catalog growth.
We validated the modular setup by showcasing rapid combination scenarios and ensuring outputs stayed integration-ready. The result is a practical customization system that supports marketplace presentation and in-game variety.
Before final animation rollout, we validated clothing and outfit readability with still-frame outfit boards. This helped confirm modular tops, pants, hats, and accessory combinations were clean and consistent before full motion passes.
We delivered 12 tailored gameplay-ready animations including character moments inspired by Ronaldo Siuuu, Mbappe celebration beats, and losing reactions. Every clip was validated against modular clothes, pants, tops, hats, and specific outfit combinations to keep motion quality consistent.
This gallery shows the modular pipeline plus 12 tailored animations, including Ronaldo Siuuu-inspired, Mbappe celebration-inspired, and losing reaction moves.

Shobu11 now has a scalable customization pipeline where new parts and animations can be added fast and published with confidence. The streamlined export/import flow helps the team ship more cosmetic content, expand the shop experience, and support stronger long-term monetization through fresh player customization drops.
It's a pleasure working with you guys. You always deliver great results and work smart, efficiently, and fast. Not always easy to find good partners like you!
Shobu11 demonstrates how modular characters can be packaged as production assets, not only visual experiments. Standardized parts and compatibility rules enable fast content expansion for game teams.
Automated Blender scripting made GLB export predictable and repeatable. This matters when modular libraries grow and manual export bottlenecks start slowing delivery.
The case study now includes 12 tailored animation clips validated with modular clothes, pants, tops, hats, and specific outfit combinations.
We can help you design modular character systems and export automation for faster game production.
