We also assisted with tech art and engineering.

Storyboarded sequences from the initial design phase. Grayboxed level layout and design. Animated all passes of the characters to work out timing and pacing as they moved through the levels. Rigged all characters. Animated all characters, including combat animation, and cut sequences. 
‍
Drawing from decades of Transformers reference material, including shows, toys, and movies, we directed the art and look of the characters, and made it uniquely our own. From concept art to the very first concept models for approval by the client and Hasbro, we took on the heavy lifting.

We modeled and designed iconic Transformer characters including: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Arcee, Devastator, Grimlock, Slug, Swoop, Ironhide, Insecticons, Seekers, and more. 

Look development of all characters including shaders and textures. Optimized it all for virtual reality.
