The Characters of BattlePlan!

While creating the character rigs for BattlePlan!, we wanted to stay as true as possible to Chris Wahl's iconic style, while introducing some of the look and feel of classic comics and the Saturday morning cartoons of the 90's.

We started by exploring a number of more standard game animation pipelines, but none of them gave the smooth, hand-animated feel that we were looking for. Ultimately, we collaborated with Titmouse studios, who are well-known for their animation work for television. Our teams worked together to create a custom approach that blended the best of both worlds, giving our characters the hand animated look and feel while still having generative rigged capabilities. The end result is fluid, beautiful movement with just a touch of nostalgia.
