'Soccer Bots': Split-P

Split-P is a Player Character I created for 'Earthbound Studio's game Soccer Bots, a football orientated sports game where guns and abilities are used to move the ball and score.

Split-P is a domestic robot gone rogue; a few crossed wires resulted in a devilish split personality that drives its main ability: 'Overkill'.

This was a fun character to create, really focused on a soft rounded look to knuckle in that cute appeal. Finding ways to quite literally, explosively change its look once the secondary personality took over was a challenge. However, the end result we ended up very happy with.

I also provided animation for the model, movement such as strafing, dashing and arial movement alongside more idle or reactive animations.
The face I wanted to be an LED screen with emotes that could be triggered with appropriate animations, this was accomplished via 'Anim Curves' within UE4, with an expression sheet that placed faces within 0.5 increments along the UV axis.
