HACK & SLASH 2.0 — 3D Model Redesign
When we started working on a Holiday program with IREP, we decided to not only resurrect two beloved characters, but to also give them a makeover that could be used for future promotions.

HACK & SLASH LAIR 2.0 — 3D Model Redesign
We couldn't just recreate Hack and Slash. we had to give them a brand new home. We replaced the original dungeon lair with a brand new castle, in a manner of speaking.

THE PROCESS OF CREATING 3D ENVIRONMENTS
Concept Development
We started with a few photos and some sketches as inspiration to determine the look and feel we were trying to achieve. We also wanted to make sure we had an environment that allowed different angles for future use.
3D Modeling
Once the sketches and photo reference had been approved, the 3D model was constructed and rendered from different angles. The samples below were created to plan out the entire area that could be used.
3D Rendering
Once the model is approved, we look for the best locations in our virtual set to establish camera angles that give us interesting backgrounds.
3D Renderings For Promotions
For each of the promotions we've worked on, we've tried to change up the angles and the setting to help add humor and interest to the theme. In the photos below, we've included renderings dressed for summer, fall, winter and a few different angles of the courtyard using different lighting.

Here are some of the 3D composites we've created for different promotions. Each of them feature our newly designed Hack and Slash characters and versions of their castle ruins.
