Description:
Starting with the conceptual artwork provided by Funcom, LBS artists set to work modeling and texturing the many characters, vehicles and settings contained in the story. The performances of the main characters were keyframe animated. Some background extras were also animated using motion capture data.
The 3D animation elements were then composited together with windstorm, smoke, and steam elements. Several digital matte paintings were created and used as scene backdrops. Final touches on the animation included heat wave distortion, camera shakes, laser blasts and lens flares. Some shots required over 100 separate layers to complete the detailed end result.
