The task presented to the elite 3D artists at Glenda Studio was to create  amazing lifelike recreations of  some of the coolest,  raddest toys in the world. 

 

This project was a bit different from our usual 3D vehicle design since these were 1/64 scale toys and were made of diecast metal and plastic - we wanted to keep true to the authenticity and realism of the toy and the technical requirements of Milestone by bringing to life the toys that are adored  worldwide by both children and collectors alike .

Our talented 3D vehicle artists were able to use their skills and create vehicles that are truly remarkable, even including the dents, chips and wear and tear from game play.

The teamwork between the Glenda Studio 3D production team and the wonderful people at Milestone was integral in creating this award winning AAA game.

The art outsourcing team of  talented 3D artists at Glenda Studio created over 73 vehicles and 18 in-game modules for players world wide to be blown away by.

At its core, Hot Wheels Unleashed ™ is a pure kart racer. No fancy weapons – just boosts, speed traps and drifting. The case could be argued that seeing plastic wheels and glittery chassis would look cool being destroyed, but it doesn’t need weaponry. Hot Wheels ™ is exemplifying how fast flame stickers make your car go, and I am all for that.

Due to the fact that the world was experiencing a difficult period during the Covid-19 pandemic, including Glenda studio whereby we had to move to work from home for 3 months. It was important to  work closely with our clients , constantly communicating, following up on feedback, technical requirements and the timeline.  Our  technical team overcame a lot of hurdles to keep the pipeline flowing and the 3D vehicle artists focused on being creative.
