CyberZed

CyberZed (also known as CyberZ, Cyber-Zombies, and Cyber-Zombies: The 3D Animated Survival Horror Series) is a Japanese 3D animated television series based off the short film Cyberpunk Zombies 3D. It is the first 3D animated project by Studio Acesky, and the series debut of director/writer Koyanagi Tomiko. The series is produced by SurgeAnime, Typewriter Japan, and Production I.G. It's primarly animated by Studio Acesky 3D and The Animation House, with Digital Frontier being a support studio for Studio Acesky 3D due to how new Acesky 3D is on the CGI animated scene. Studio Acesky 3D Assistance will assist the animation, while Imagine Engine and Firebasket VFX will aid in polishing the show.

Production
Production of the series started right after production of the Cyberpunk Zombies 3D short. Six episodes were ordered and production started in April of 2019. This will be the first half-cour show for Acesky, as they want to test the waters as well as Venga Animation. This will also allow the production team to polish the show.

The programs used for the first season are Houdini, iPi Soft, Poser, Blender, and Terragen 4 Creative.

Production I.G joined the production also to aid the newcomers to 3D animation for the first season only.
