Early Stages

Initially, we had a small grasp on what we wanted this project to look like, both visually and systematically. To help, I created many different iterations of models to showcase possible styles that could be imported into software for testing. I created high poly and low poly models to see what level of detail we could get away with in unity without causing issues, and I made multiple different textures that were reviewed by groups of people to develop the visual style of our project.

After looking over the models and textures I created, it was decided that we wanted to go will a low poly cell shaded style for all the 3D models. Within the group of motion graphic designers I was working with, I was given multiple different models created by others that I was to import into Unity and texture with a free pack known as Toon Shader. This resulted in 9 complete models, 1 of which was created by me, and all which were textured by me.
