Marvel’s Blade Announcement Trailer Lookdev

I'm happy to announce that I was part of this amazing project done for Arkane studio at Axis Studios. I was Lead Lookdev artist on this one. My role was to recreate the look provided by the amazing people from Arkane and create a shader in Arnold to replicate all those amazing techniques that they done for this game, both for characters, props and environments. There were a lot of topics/issues related with the creation of such a 2d effect using Arnold, which is not an easy renderer for those kinds of effects :D
I had great support from my dear friend Sebastian Deredas who was Surfacing Lead on this project and who taked those shaders and pushed lifes to all characters. We had a lot of great talks and discovers during this project, which was not an easy to be honest but I'm really happy how it looks! :)
There were a lot of people who brang balance to the force in this project and pushed the quality to the high bar.
Many thanks to:
