A deep dive into the creation of a stylized hero character for the Ragnarok IP.
Goal: Translate 2D concepts to 3D while optimizing for mobile performance (~8k tris).
Maintaining clean, quad-based topology was critical for the facial rigging system.
Loops were specifically optimized around the eyes and mouth to support anime-style expressions without mesh distortion.
Challenge: Keeping the silhouette smooth on mobile constraints.
Solution: Strategic use of hard edges and baked normals only where necessary.
100% Hand-painted diffuse map using Photoshop & Substance Painter. Lighting information is baked into the texture to support the NPR (Non-Photorealistic) look.
Expanding the world: Creating immersive, stylized environments optimized for mobile.
Focus: Modular assets, tileable hand-painted textures, and world building.
Created a set of reusable props (crates, barrels, pillars) sharing a single texture atlas to minimize draw calls.
Seamless looping textures for ground and walls, painted in Photoshop with a focus on stylized "chunky" details readable on small screens.
Final implementation of assets within the Unity Engine, showcasing lighting, VFX, and UI integration on mobile devices.
