Digic Pictures is a Hungarian 3D animation studio based in Budapest, at Graphisoft Park, specializing in the production of 3d animated game cinematics CGI . Digic also provides motion capture services at its own studio, Digic Motion.

DIGIC Pictures is a computer animation film studio which produces full 3D animated shorts and visual effects, in association with video games, feature films or commercial advertisements.

The history of DIGIC Pictures goes back to December 2001, when the first members of the later animation company have joined the video game developer company called Black Hole Entertainment. Digic Pictures, as the cinematic department of Black Hole, produced animation sequences for RTS games developed by Black Hole. Back in 2002 Digic produced five high quality full 3D cinematics -Intro, Outro, Human, Beast, Fallen- for the EA game called Armies of Exigo that was completed by the beginning of 2003, and was the first Hungarian project ever to make it to the selection of Electronic Theater, one of the most prestigious selection of the 2003 Siggraph Festival / Conference, that introduces the world's leading computer animation projects. Spurred on by Hungarian-born Hollywood producer and co-owner, Andrew G. Vajna, the studio got involved in the production of 60 VFX scenes of the American blockbuster Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and impressed "even the most prestigious professional forums bringing a good name of ... the world of the developing professional Hungarian computer animation". Since 2006, Digic Pictures has turned from feature films to major video game developers, and kept on producing animated shorts for gamer audiences, including intros, outros, trailers and teasers for Warhammer, Darksiders, Assassin's Creed, and Mass Effect episodes. The Assassin’s Creed Unity trailer has been introduced at E3 in 2004 and has won the Best Trailer/Opener prize at Animago 2014. In November 2014 Digic made a Cinematic for the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare game published by Activision Publishing. In 2015 the Assassin’s Creed Unity : Dead Kings, and the Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Cinematic Trailer were released. In spring 2015 the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Cinematic Trailer has been published which won the Best Trailer/Opener Award at Animago 2015 , Berlin, Germany and the Best Cinematic at Sparks Animation Festival 2015, Vancouver, Canada. In 2016, Digic made the Destiny: The Taken King CG Cinematics, the Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV – Battle Scene, and also the Final Fantasy XV – Omen Trailer.
