Battle Ball Models

Character Models

(Click Icons to Expand)

These 3D models were made for BattleBall, which is my solo project that I have spent most of my time working on in association with Zygobot Studios for my Capstone at Full Sail. It is a local co-op Fighting/Sports game that features Humanoid Robots with unique abilities and move sets. Although I was responsible for every aspect of the game, this page will primarily feature my work on the character models and Animations.

These characters were designed with with an "athletic" aesthetic in mind, with special attention to the type of shoes that they wear. Model sheets feature the location of each joint so that the modeling and rigging process goes by smoothly. Sketches were made using Procreate.

Animations & Gameplay

This video Features gameplay of the first two characters Echo and Digit. Each character currently uses 60+ animation assets that I animated in Blender. The game itself was developed in Unreal Engine 5.5.

With a combination of animation and programming techniques, I was able to create gameplay that felt responsive and satisfying. I learn many of these techniques from this GDC Talk by Ian Cofino. For example, I set the blend time to zero at the beginning of animations so that it would snap to the anticipation pose instantaneously. I also implemented feedback such as hitstop, visual effects, and screen shake.
