The W.H.D team is very excited to share these demo sample videos of the main game character "Orion". We partnered with an extremely talented 3d character creator and animator "Focree" who helped bring the ideal vision of Orion to life for our game project. Links to Focree's product page and services are available below. Here are a few words from Focree in relation to working with us and the project experience. 

"Hello everyone

I’ve recently finished a freelance project called “Orion” and I’d like to share it with you.

The client approached me with a request to create a stylized character and provided a large set of written materials and references. The idea immediately inspired me — I could already picture the final result in my mind, and I quickly got to work.

The project was built around a standard character development pipeline. The task was to create a game-ready character for Unreal Engine 5, make it modular, and implement customizable shaders. I completed the sculpting, prepared the retopology and UVs, and baked the textures. After that, the only step left was integrating everything into the engine.

While working in UE5, I realized how enjoyable it is to use, so I decided to create the final renders directly in it. I’m very happy with the result and I’m excited to share it with you.
Thank you for your interest in my work!"

 Wicked Horizon Designs updated logo:




The composite project for our updated logo was made using frames rendered at 30fps for 30 seconds in 3D Studio Max for the spinning element. The lower part that includes the text font and H.U.D screen was created in After Effects & Premiere Pro. The 3 elements are the lower effect, the text and the spinning logo. Post Production final steps were done in After Effects. Thank you to our teammate Galen C for helping to create our updated sci-fi logo.


Our official website is under construction but you can visit it and checkout the sci-fi style H.U.D theme: https://wickedhorizondesigns.com/
