Lethal Animal

Brief

This job was for a secret Pharma client out in Asia. They wanted a porcupine with katana blades. Prickly yes, lethal oh yeah! 

Creative Solution

Pixteur Studios 3D modeled our prickly little friend and went about our standard workflow to create skin textures as well as fur and hair color control textures. We were given very tight art direction and had to stick super close to approved comp art, so no room to add our special sauce but ultimately we are happy with the result.

Midway through production we were asked to make it move for a quick reveal animation. So work was undone, redone and we rigged him up. The tricky part was avoiding collisions in the quills and the blades. Lastly the animation solve had to end pixel perfectly to the approved pose and finished hi res art. So this was one job where we worked backward to go forwards. 

We delivered on time and to a happy client, go Pixteur.
