I was asked early in the project to find a unifying style for the effects in Infinity. I wanted something stylized that would blur the line between effects that felt energetic and epic, and effects that felt small as a reminder that the characters were toys and not life-size. I know that's a strange juxtaposition but I thought it was worth trying for. I think they achieved this effect even better in the final game than I did here.
looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the solidness of these effects!
ReplyDeletethese are really awesome Sam. I got the game and am having a lot of fun with it!
ReplyDeleteso being unfamiliar with effects, I assume these are the climactic frames of animations? do you do them all in ps?
ReplyDeletewhere do you put the frames of the animation together?
thanks for sharing!!

ReplyDeleteAdam: I'm glad you like it! I've been totally hooked to Infinity Blade II recently, you guys did an awesome job with that.
Kyle: These are just concepts, not part of an animation. The effects artists would re-create these in three dimensions using Maya and proprietary tools.
That is some awesome effects! Tasty fire <3
