Talks & sessions
Making the visual effects for Returnal
In this talk I will cover how we made some of the character effects for our dark sci-fi shooter Returnal. We'll go through the process starting from concept art all the way to finished product. We will have a look at what worked and what didn't from visual perspective. In addition to that I'll discuss the technical aspects of developing our own vfx toolset to match the needs of the game technically and artistically.
