Cyberpunk 2077 - E3 Trailer

Our studio had the great honor of collaborating with CD PROJEKT RED in producing this Cyberpunk 2077 – E3 Cinematic Trailer. From receiving the script to realizing CD PROJEKT RED’s awesome vision — we combined forces and developed it together, which culminated in an almost 4 minute long 4K cinematic trailer.

In this short story, we follow V through a dynamic setting showcasing a glimpse into the world of perils and possibilities that is Night City — the most vibrant and dangerous metropolis of the future.

Role: Lead Character Artist

Art Contribution: I worked on all faces in the trailer, polishing CDPR highres meshes and adding high fidelity XYZ skin displacements.

Skin Shading and Groom on V along with lots of shared grooms and shading on all the other characters as well using Maya and Yeti.

Skin and groom was joint effort by me and Henrik Eklundh on Johnny Silverhand.
