The Game Awards Graphics Package
ABOUT
It was an honour to create the graphics package for the 2017 Game Awards, which are the Oscars of the gaming world.
The concept for the graphics package was intended as an homage to level design, while also honouring the generative / procedural visual approach that the client was hoping for. We figured that a procedural maze created with the Game Awards logo parts was a fun visual and a spot-on metaphor for a number of aspects of the game experience.
Our biggest technical challenge was to procedurally animate the architectural structure. The scenes were made of many parts so they quickly became quite heavy and slow to manipulate, but when we decided to move to Houdini the process started to become more manageable.
It took some time to arrive at the desirable look and feel of this piece, and we hope the sense of the journey is nicely conveyed in the visuals.
