This animation is my submission for the @pwnisher 3D Boss Fight Challenge - The City Guardian. I had a ton of fun making this project and it required hours and hours of hard work and lots problem solving.
-
Dragon boss model sculpted in Blender, base character from Maximo, character animations from Maximo and environment assets from KitBash 3D and Quixel Bridge. All rendered in Unreal Engine 5.2.
-
I took lots of inspiration from the busy streets of Tokyo city in Japan and the neo city aesthetics from the game Cyberpunk 2077
