Coming soon from Cognitant - the relaxation game, 'Manta'!
Here you can see some behind-the-scenes footage, showing off the making of some of the assets and animations of this relaxing underwater adventure. This calming game will allow you to join a manta swimming through the ocean, collecting rings and rescuing trapped fish along the way to join your school.
And for those interested in the technical aspects of the design process, here's some information from our 3D Artist, Andy Begg:
"Creating the low poly fish starts with modelling the fish from reference, basically tracing it in 2D. I then extrude it out with a mirror modifier to give it some thickness, and smooth it out. The fins are added as 2d planes.
I textured the fish by UV mapping a gradient colour pallet, often called a trim sheet, to specific areas of the model - basically projecting the 2D image to the 3D model's surface.
After that, I recycle a rig or armature from another fish. An armature is like a skeleton that allows you to control the fish like a puppet. I line up the skeleton with the new fish by moving the bones to the correct positions.
The bones need to be connected to the corresponding parts of the fish. This is called skinning or weight painting and looks like a heat map. It controls how much influence each bone has over each part of the model. Because the bones are named the same for each fish they can all share the same swimming animation and the fish is complete."
