Sparx* is a 530-person animation and game development studio acquired by Virtuos in 2011, operating from Ho Chi Minh City as part of a 13-location global network. The stack—Maya, Blender, Substance Painter, ZBrush, plus Unreal and Unity—reflects a pure-play production operation. Current hiring is concentrated in design roles (5 open) with accelerating velocity, while pain points around resource planning, team health, and the gap between creative ambition and technical capability suggest the studio is scaling execution across larger, more complex franchises.
