The Return: Toonami 25th Anniversary

This was a special two-part episode of the Adult Swim's program Toonami, in celebration of the program's 25th anniversary. I had the priviledge to work on it during my internship at Hinge Digital. The story follows hosts Tom and Sara in a mysterious reunion with their old ship Absolution. I supported the CG production across disciplines.

Part 1

Responsible for re-texturing some assets and lighting several shots.

​

Software: Maya

Renderer: V-Ray

Part 2

For the second part of the show, our team embraced the challenge of transitioning from a traditional 3D rendering pipeline to a real-time workflow.

 

My responsibilities included kitbashing the existing 3D environment of the Absolution control deck, re-texturing some of the assets, and bringing them into Unreal Engine 4 for look development, lighting, and rendering. I also contributed to the early R&D for building a collaborative environment in Unreal. The goal was to recreate the visual language and atmosphere of the previous Toonami series, while exploring more efficient pipeline solutions and expanded design possibilities.

Software: Maya, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine 4.
