Project 5: Beholder

As the environment artist on the unreleased game 'Project 5' — a top-down action adventure based on a beloved THQ Nordic IP — I worked on many interactive key assets, as well as simple environmental assets. The usual pipeline involved sculpting in ZBrush, creating a low-poly mesh in Blender, baking and texturing it in Substance 3D Painter, and then implementing the asset into the KAIKO proprietary engine and making it fit the artistic vision.

This particular batch of assets was used to enable one of the main characters to traverse the environment by attaching their weapon to it from a distance and propelling themselves forwards and upwards.
