Wrestling 3D Game Art & Animation | Ultra Pro Wrestling Project Hello folks! We’re excited to present our latest game art project, Ultra Pro Wrestling (UPW). Our goal is to create visuals that bring you into the arcade atmosphere of the golden era of gaming. We put a lot of effort into perfecting the 3D wrestling models, textures and equipment to provide the best experience inspired by the WWE and WWF series. Wrestling and grappling animations for Unreal engine & Unity Our creative process was inspired by classic WWE and WWF games, combined with detailed character descriptions. We focused on technical precision in 3D modeling, including sculpting, UV mapping, and texturing, along with rigging and skinning to prepare the characters for animation.

This stage was crucial in defining the character's appearance and backstory, aligning them with the spirit of the game. For example, we have both imaginary-designed and real-life wrestlers, like Rob Van Dam recreated in 3D form for this game art project. We made 12 completely visually different characters of different shapes and unforgettable clothes, so you will have a great choice for someone who you like the most.Blockout: the next step involved creating a basic 3D blockout or rough sculpt of the character. This blackout served as the foundation, helping us establish the character's proportions and pose.High-Poly Sculpting: we start to add more details and refine the character's features based on the art concepts: facial expressions, muscle definition and clothes.Retopology: this step involves creating a clean topology, reducing unnecessary polygons while maintaining the character's visual integrity.UV Mapping: UV mapping was essential for applying textures accurately to the character's model. This process involved unwrapping the character's 3D mesh into a 2D representation, ensuring that textures would be properly aligned and displayed. 3D Wrestling Animation With a well-rigged skeleton, we animated each character’s movements, from signature wrestling holds to victory celebrations. This stage was crucial for dynamic and engaging in-ring action. Rigging and skinning allowed the characters to move realistically and perform dynamic wrestling maneuvers. WWE animations brought each character to life, making their performances in the ring spectacular.

This step ensured that each character's skin, attire, and accessories looked authentic and visually stunning. Our team designed outfits that complemented each character's persona, including chest armor, cloaks, and helmets. These outfits were integrated into the characters' 3D models.Rigging: we created a skeleton for each character, complete with joints and controls. This enabled us to animate the characters convincingly in the game.Final Tweaks and Polish: before integration into the game, we conducted final checks and optimizations. We ensured that the character's design and performance in the game met the client's requirements.Quality Assurance: testing to spot and correct any issues, ensuring that each character performed flawlessly in the game and met our high standards.
