PlatinumGames recently held a 10th-year-anniversary event during which they allowed fans to check out their studio. Also, they had the privilege to witness the work being done on the company’s development floor on Scalebound, their upcoming Action RPG game for Xbox One.
Among the pictures, published by Famitsu, there were quite a few snaps of work-in-progress models and effects of Scalebound.
The studio revealed that it takes around two to three weeks creating a detailed model for the game, then the model is rigged, making sure that the whole body moves in accordance with each part. After that, the model is uploaded to the engine and visual effects are applied. Unreal Engine 4’s Cascade Editor is used for additional elements like lights and flame.
