Title: We Rule Bowling
Project: iOS Games
Date: 10/2008 - 08/2011
Characters from a bowling app. I worked on several sports titles for Freeverse, bowling, baseball, and an NBA game..making sets of characters that shared sets of animation loops.
CASE STUDY: FREEVERSE iOS NBA MOBILE GAME
For the NBA, we created a lot of their star players. The models had to be very light weight, and the animation needed to be shared between all of them. One challeng was to create a single rig that could work for all different height characters, but we got it done with Maya's TRAX editor.
CASE STUDY: FREEVERSE iOS MLB MOBILE GAME
For MLB, we created a baseball simulation game. The models had to be very light weight, and the animation needed to be shared. The main action is in the batter, whom you see here.
