Asphalt 9: Legends is the latest installment in Gameloft’s popular fast-paced racing game series. Asphalt 9 offers gamers five classes of cars to chase and unlock, ranging from entry level sports cars to multi-million-dollar supercars. Technicolor Games delivered 17 cars for the release and continues to work on additional models. As part of Gameloft’s ongoing support of the game, new cars are made available regularly and, as such, the Technicolor team will be delivering six more cars. Car models and textures, along with five LODs (levels of detail), are created from hi-res scans provided by the client. All told, Technicolor Games is delivering models from A (Aston Martin) to Z (Zenvo, the Danish supercar).

Technicolor’s Animation and Games group partnered with Electronic Arts once gain for this year’s Madden game. The group was responsible for more assets than ever before, including the creation of 11 stadiums and various story-mode props. The key artists on the game were invited to the stadiums at Tiburon for on-site training, to ensure the animated versions accurately resembled the real-life stadiums. EA’s team also came out to the Bangalore Studio to train the team and help set up the pipeline. This was also the first instance that Technicolor’s artists worked in Frostbite to build the various stadiums.

Technicolor’s Animation and Games group continues to build and enhance the NHL franchise, providing more assets and animation to this year’s game than in years past. Technicolor’s talented artists worked on enhancing the motion capture data to ensure that all characters’ motions looked as life-like as possible, precisely timing their interactions with the ice and with other characters. They also handled a variety of animations, including the creation of the trophy win, players’ celebrations, goalie animations and the team photo, to name just a few. Our artists consistently deliver the highest quality of work, requiring minimal feedback or supervision. Ultimately, the team created 250 minutes of character work, while delivering a variety of assets including uniforms, equipment - goalie pads, gloves, goalie sticks, etc – and the players’ heads.

In Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, gamers will find fun connections to the popular Resident Evil series but with a new cast of characters that Technicolor worked with Capcom in Osaka to create. Powered by the specially built RE Engine, the huge number of Gameplay animations for the primary characters required extensive motion capture polishing. Technicolor adjusted elements in the characters’ posing to make them more natural and fine-tuned the animation timing, two features that are essential to creating more realistic animation. Animators also worked on creature animations, with spiders, cockroaches, and oversized mosquitos among the creepy cast of game characters. All told, the team produced more than 1,500 files, averaging 12 animators over 3,195 man-days for an immersive three hours of gameplay available for PlayStation VR, Xbox One, and PCs.
