Client contacted us for a small project. We were requested to create targeting / lock-on UI animated designs for online game play.
Here are some of the designs we came up with.
[01] Unit Indicator v1 and v2
[02] Unit Selected / Circular
This design had to show both distance to unit and health.
[03] Unit Selected / Square
Square designs with similar features of health and distance
In addition we had to create animations, showing transition between several states of the design, for example, from selected unit to target lock, tracking, firing, etc. Here are a few samples.
For this project we started designing right into After Effects, as we had clear ideas what we wanted to do, just from reading the client's brief. We skipped the initial design process in Illustrator and went straight into animation as well.
Although the designs were not needed to be 3D, they can very easily be converted to use z-space as well.
Thank you for stopping by!
