Method & Madness: The Rocksteady Approach To Material Layering
A look at Rocksteady's journey into Material Layering, and the system we created to support character customisation. The "quality first" design philosophy and how we created and leveraged tools to create Rocksteady's highest fidelity characters ever! We will cover the rocky beginnings, the conversion of a team into Material Layering and the lessons we learned in the process, as well as the system's strengths and successes as well as its limitations and the aspects that could have been better.
Session Takeaway
- An overview of the character creation process at Rocksteady, with a focus on Materials & Textures
- An understanding of the challenges involved in creating a Material Layering pipeline almost from scratch
- How to overcome a team's initial resistance in order to successfully implement a new and "weird" pipeline
