Contribuitions
Toon Offset Material
Material blueprint
Offset material in engine
Toon Shaders, World bending implementation
The post rendering of the toon shader created some issues in the implementation. So the solution was to make a material to have the subdivision of the intensity of the light in order to create the color sections. A material function is used in order to alter the rendering offset in order to achieve the bending of the world.
Character Creation Pipeline

In game Knight Animation
Character modeling, rigging, animation, in engine implementation
I was tasked to make the full character pipeline. Starting from the concept art of the characters sketches, 3D Character Modeling, Ringing, animation and the implementation in engine of the character animation blueprint and trigger.
Level Design. Environmental design

Creation of concept level
The direction of the gameplay goes from left to right. For passive story telling, the area of the goblin’s forest is full of plants. On the other hand, the human territories are depleted.
Keeping in mind the bending of the world. I created designated paths where the player can go through. There are openings that tell the player where to go in order to find items and objectives.
2D Concept Art
Knight Expresions
Knight Action Pose
Goblin Expresions
Goblin Action Pose
Character expressions and action pose
I was also asked to make the character illustration for different in game and promotional usage. I began with some textured borders. Eventually we decide the cell shading style so it matches the in game rendering system.
Environment 3D Assets
Fire Tree Sketch
Fire Tree 3D Model
Fire Tree in Game
Fire Tree Shrinking Animation Blueprint
Goblin Camp 3D Model
Main interactable assets
I was tasked to create some of the important assets for the game. The rest were asset packs, so the style had to be similar. I created the Fire Tree, fire fruit and their respective in game simple animations. The goblin camp asset is going to have the same treatment.
Reflection
My involvement with Glory for Goblins will continue until August 2026. The objective is to have a project that can be handed down to new members of the studio to practice level and environmental design.
