Avengers Academy [TinyCo 2015]
This fresh take on the Marvel universe was Tinyco's first released 3d game. All superheroes are re-imagined as college students or professors at the Avengers Academy.
My role as the 3D Art Director was help create a style suitable for the 3D that had a comic book feel, develop the art pipeline and lead our team of artists.
Environments
Something I was big advocate for during pre-production was to give the players the ability to zoom far out, and to go eye level with the characters for more immersion. That made efficient art a hard task to pull off, but it was highly rewarding to players as a unique at the time feature.
Characters
Our character designs were created by our Lead Artist David Nakayama who has created multiple covers for Marvel Comics. My goal was to translate his unique style in 3D and establish a scalable pipeline without compromising quality.
