BATTALORE Power Up Your Play
This project was produced for Battalore (toy/brand). I received a storyboard and delivered the final finished spot in 7 days. The work was handled end-to-end: asset creation, texturing, animation, Unreal environments and lighting, final rendering, color finishing in DaVinci, and music for delivery
My Role (End-to-End)
Creative + Technical execution (full pipeline)
Character/asset modeling + UVs
PBR texturing in Substance Painter
Animation + camera work
Environment build + lighting + rendering in Unreal Engine
Post-production in DaVinci Resolve (color + finishing)
Music / sound for final delivery
7-Day Pipeline
Day 1: Storyboard breakdown, timing beats (Power ’em up / Race / Clash / Logo), look targets
Days 2–3: Modeling + UVs + early shader/look tests
Days 4–5: PBR texturing in Substance + lookdev refinement
Day 6: Animation, cameras, Unreal environment setup, lighting and renders
Day 7: DaVinci color + finishing, music/sound, final export and delivery
Color Variation
01 — Storyboard / Brief
“Client-provided storyboard. All CG production was built from this blueprint and delivered as a finished spot in 7 days.”
02 — Asset Production (Model → UV → PBR Textures)
“Modeled from scratch, UV’d and textured with a PBR workflow in Substance Painter, optimized for strong readability in motion.”
ZBrush Blockout → Final Form
“Built the model in ZBrush from a single perspective image, without orthographic views or the real object. The main challenge was reconstructing accurate forms from limited reference while moving fast to meet the 7-day deliver
In Substance Painter I built a layered plastic material focused on a clean, injection-molded feel: stable base color, tight roughness range, and very subtle micro-roughness/micro-normal breakup to catch highlights without looking dirty or “CG shiny.”
Final Render — Textured Lookdev
“Final beauty render with the complete PBR texture set applied (toy-grade plastic finish). This frame represents the approved look after the Substance Painter pass and Unreal shading calibration.”
Unreal Engine — FX & Lighting Tests
“Early Unreal tests exploring particle FX and lighting variations to support the storyboard beats (energy/power-up and impact moments). Focused on readability, specular control, and atmosphere before final render.”
Real-World Motion Reference (Lean & Contact)
“The top frame is real motorcycle footage used as motion reference to match lean angle, ground contact, and speed cues—then translated into a toy-style performance for Battalore.”
Futuristic Track Design — Player “Launch” Simulation
“The concept was a race that feels physically started by the player. I designed a futuristic track and added realistic arms to simulate the user’s hand motion when launching the toys—this action becomes
