synty's story

Founded in New Zealand in 2014, synty studios was formed over a weekend, when Mike and Andrew got together and created our first asset pack ‘Simple Town’. We continued to create asset packs as a side hustle until the assets gained in popularity and we took a chance, quit our day jobs and went full-time on synty. Over the past few years the synty team has grown, created many more awesome 3D art packs and even won awards. We dedicate ourselves to creating cool art that’s used in creative projects world-wide by people of all skill levels and backgrounds.
