Going into the project we had a lot of solid foundations in place thanks to our talented script writer and art director who worked hard to cement the look and feel of the project early on

Below are some behind the scenes assets that our 3D team worked hard on, including the initial crumble simulation test in Houdini, turntables for one of protagonists and main asset as well as groom simulations that were cut due to time constraints.
