A spicy mix of 2D and 3D

EA Sports Fifa Future Stars @ BUCK
March 8, 2023

I had the chance to work on a unique looking project at BUCK. The spot is a mix of in game footage and animated cel, but there were a few shots that had a really dynamic camera and so that's where 3D came in.

I was responsible for modeling a few characters to match a pose that was drawn by our 2D team. I took that styleframe and used a back and forth mix of ZBrush and Maya to get the pose as close as possible. Then I used Substance Painter to break out masks for the fill, lines and shadow of the characters so they could be comped in Nuke to look like cel.

Watch the spot on the BUCK website and admire some more behind the scenes and juicy styleframes.
