Description.
Wolfpack is a 3D animated short commercial inspired by the video game Arc Raiders. We created this project as a homage to an item called the Wolfpack grenade. In game it is used to take down deadly machines called arcs.
I was responsible for the animation, simulation and the wolfpack asset+texturing. Fabian created the pop and augment assets as well as the logo. Each of us had three shots for lighting and rendering.
Idea.
The commercial showcases the item from different views. It starts by showing the object coming out of what’s in game referred to as an “augment”. It builds up to the final impact revealing the purpose and function of it. We took the liberty of animating and portraying the object in a way that would not directly be possible in game but make for an interesting build up. In the final shot it then launches all its missiles to destroy a “pop”, one of the arc classes. Finally we added some vhs effects to match the “Arc Raiders” aesthetics.
