About
Background
SonaGraf started as kabusiki-kaisha (Ltd.)(株式会社SonaGraf）in Japan at 2022, founded by award-winning CG artist Jaakko Saari.
SonaGraf has worked with several high end brands such as Canon and Nikon, and provided training and services for large companies in Japan and world-wide.
We have since then transitioned away into a trade name SonaGraf, in order to be able to provide quality service that is even more cost effective, with extreme focus on quality.
Focus
SonaGraf focuses on non-game real-time CG production and training using Unreal as our main tool. Although we sometimes work on game related projects the work we do is mostly related to cinematics.
Our strength is providing quality at cost-effective price.
Values
We strive to exceed customer expectations at every turn.
We are forward thinking in our approach to CG creation, utilizing the latest technology such as Unreal Engine 5 with lumen and nanite support, Houdini and Substance Designer.
We believe in achieving higher cost performance and faster iteration by full utilization these technologies.
We offer a support support period for our clients even after delivery of service to ensure their all needs are met.
Environment
We have a scientific world view. We recognize the ever growing importance of preservation of our environment as well as the massive impact climate change is causing.
We strive to minimize the carbon footprint caused by our operation by utilizing solar powered render farms and servers, but also by minimizing unnecessary paper consumption, opting for digital signing of documents.

Alan Company, BCN Visuals
“I have had the pleasure of working with Jaakko on dozens of projects and have been consistently impressed by his talent and professionalism. His ability to create rich, detailed environments that are not only visually stunning but also realistic and believable is truly impressive (both in render and real-time software). He is able to take vague ideas and turn them into beautifully crafted 3D world.
In addition to being a talented CG environment artist, Jaakko is also a joy to work with. His positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that the project is a success are just a few of the reasons why I would highly recommend him. Plus great team player! (Hard to find in today’s digital world)”
Jesse van Blokland, JVB.Design
Took a 4 week training course for learning UE5 and the work flow needed for it as well as some additional training on software for said workflows. He provided great value of training and knowledge that let me succeed in learning UE5 but has allowed me to get up and running in UE5 in a very timely manner. Not only that he has many years in the technical artist field giving him the ability to provide training and wisdom on what’s expected for clients and what to expect and anticipate from the industry as a whole. I would recommend him for the creative and highly professional work he produces as well as the quality training he can provide as well.
