RIOT GAMES
VALORANT EP8 RECKONING
"The truth… won't stay hidden forever." It's time to discover Omen's dark past in our latest collaboration with Riot Games.Valorant embodies high-stakes scenarios, lethal gameplay, and pivotal moments celebrating inventive playstyles. So, nothing is more fair than an episode that delivers the best of the action to the fans.
Episode 8 was an extremely challenging project. Action films with multiple cameras and scenes of hand-to-hand combat always involve a degree of complexity. Our team decided to add physical properties to the shaders, taking our lighting to another level. A combination of PBR and toon shader brought a unique and artistic characteristic to our output.
This adventure was possible because Riot trusted us every step of the way. "Dealing with such big names in the animation market was the highlight of this production, not to mention the artistic freedom and trust we received from Riot Games to implement and produce this film, which is undoubtedly a game-changer for everyone involved," said our Co-Director for this project, Arthur Baden.
