Sparx* had temporarily closed its French office in 2008, and American and Vietnamese offices in 2010.

Since becoming a Virtuos studio, Sparx* opened its Game & Film Departments to produce 3D arts & VFX for AAA game titles and Hollywood blockbuster projects. The studio has worked with biggest companies in the game industry and contributed to many out of top 10 highest-grossing movies of all time.
