 3D head and body concepts

Level Up your !dimension

Our art team conceptualized, modeled, and rigged each of the 10k characters. Recreating 10k pixelated Wizards into 3D game-ready models was a complex voyage. Beginning with translating 2D pixel characters into polygonal ones, we underwent several stages, from artistic conception to technical application.

3d Concepts by Molly

Entrusting this transformation to our in-house artist @mollyismutz, each model had to strike a balance between aesthetic beauty and game engine optimization, ensuring they stayed within our polygon budget.

A Pose & T Pose

Master rigger @frogeater3D ensured each character was animated seamlessly. We designed these assets to be versatile, enabling them to function in a variety of third-party apps, meeting diverse technical requirements, whether it's @oncyber's T-Pose preference or @Nifty_Island's A-Pose.

3D Spells

Beyond the characters, we crafted items and spells to enhance the gaming experience. Read more about the process of recreating 10k pixelated Wizards into full 3D game ready rigs in our founder ElfJTrul's twitter thread linked here: 2d to 3d.
