Plastic Sea - Some in-engine locomotion tests with crabbie. Animation speed synced with actor velocity and I have some procedural sway on his body based on rotation speed.

Always love mixing baked animation with procedural elements that are reactive to player input!

Plastic Sea - Hermit crabbie, rendered in 3ds max viewport here, this is just an early placeholder model/design

Plastic Sea - Cute creatures, along with the theme of the game, also allow for opportunitites to gut punch the player a bit. Don't you just wanna help the poor fella?

Engine test with the baby turtle. I imagine there would be lots of special events in the game, like baby turtles emerging out of sand and heading for the ocean

Plastic Sea - baby turtle, another simple character, animated here in 3dsMax

"Finished" key art. It's just a quick mockup of course but I like the vibe it sets

Plastic Sea - I've been developing characters for the game. This is a playblast straight from 3dsMax viewport. Animated procedurally with modifiers and noise controllers, I always like to do this before any more complex rigging.

Plastic Sea still lives rent free in my mind. I'll be posting some retrospective about it in the coming days.

First post on here. Until gif support is added action snapshots will have to do!
