"Hello Robobot, Welcome to Player Zero"
It was a blast putting together this CG trailer for our friends over at PlayerZeroHQ. They're not only a record label but a bridge linking music, science fiction, and storytelling across the metaverse. We were happy to be apart of the movement, a two man team comprised of Victor Dimitrov (Weight of Thought) and Harrison Vincent were tasked to bring this world to life. They storyboarded / designed / sculpted / textured / animated all of the environments and characters to give the metaverse its first look at Player Zero.

PRODUCTION STILLS
ENVIRONMENT DESIGN
Designing the world of Player Zero. We wanted the environments be a mix of anime influences and industrial tech, mixed with grunge and a lived in feel.

CHARACTER DESIGN
Translating the characters from their existing IP, we wanted to retain their likeness but also mature them a bit. All players needed to feel at home in the world we were creating.

PRODUCTION PROCESS
Jumping into production, we employed a myriad of software and tools to bring this world to life. ZBrush, Substance painter, Cinema 4D, Marvelous Designer, After Effects, Mixamo, Redshift and Octane.
With so many levels to this project (concept design all the way to full render), we needed to be able to adapt to changing design needs and production problems.
