Scrap Age
Work done for the Meta Quest VR game Scrap Age. I was given a lot of creative freedom on this project. I was trusted with making design improvements on placeholder or less refined art assets and coming up with my own designs from descriptions and ideas from leads. With the target platform being untethered mobile VR, assets were fairly heavily optimized. Most props/cosmetics having a poly budget of approx 3,000 tris and 1024 textures
Made design adjustments to the hero/base player character from our original placeholder key art to better fit the evolving aesthetic of this faction and technical/animation requirements.
aprox 10,000 tris 5,000 upper body 5,000 lower body
Refined in Zbrush using hard surface sculpting techniques
aprox 10,000 tris 5,000 upper body 5,000 lower body
Working from the model used in the vertical slice, came up with a refreshed design to better fit the evolving art style. Needed to accommodate existing skeleton and firing, charge up, and reload animations.
