Well, howdy! A while ago, Quarter Up invited us to contribute to Invincible VS. In the early stages we helped out with some shader work (e.g., hair & outlines), the character texture setup and also got involved in the dismemberment system (... it's Invincible, after all...). And and while we did so, we had the pleasure of doing 3D work on some really cool characters, Invincible and Omni-Man among them! Which was an absolute honor.

Excerpts here, full details over at ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/airbornstudios/albums/15116601

Team shout-out to Steffen Unger, Andrea Orioli, Tim Moreels, Malte Sturm & Nathan Bertelo. Biggest of thanks to Dan Eder and the art team at Quarter Up as well as Skybound Games for having us!

Well, well, well. Well! Back with another project news tidbit that we had not mentioned over here yet.

Happy Broccoli Games is a plucky indie studio from our neck of the woods. Berlin, that is. Some of you may know their debut title Kraken Academy or the more recent Duck Detective games. They just announced their a new game the other day, the cozy murder mystery Apple Crumble!

We've known them for a while, and not too long ago they reached out to us about some support on the 3D prop side of things. So, that's what's happening. 😙 If you like what you're seeing, don't forget to wishlist it as this really helps studios like them. Chop, chop!

Oh hey there! Looks who's back!

Almost a decade ago we were honored to contribute a little something to the storied history of a special character as Toys for Bob invited us along for the ride on Spyro Reignited Trilogy. It was our first time working with them, and it was a wonderful experience.

You can imagine we were absolutely thrilled when, a while ago, they let us know they're planning a brand-new ambitious adventure with our winged friend. Excited to report that Spyro: A Realm Beyond was unveiled at the Xbox Showcase today! Big tip of the hat to Toys for Bob for having us once again and all the fabulous artists involved in the project!

Some patience is required as Spyro won't take flight until next Spring - but it will be worth the wait. :)

Take flight on a brand-new adventure through a strange and wondrous...

G'day, ye fine folks! Hear, hear! Invincible VS launches today on PC, PS5 & Xbox!

Airborn Studios got involved in the early stages, helped establish some of the character style, workflows and the pipeline, and then reworked Invincible, Atom Eve and Battle Beast accordingly. Afterwards, we did the entire 3D work on Omni-Man, Bulletproof, Lucan, and Thula along with the base textures for Robot. Was a pleasure!

3D work done by Steffen Unger, Andrea Orioli, Tim Moreels, Malte Sturm & Nathan Bertelo! 👏👏👏 Congrats to Skybound Games and the team at Quarter Up! Thanks so much for having us! 😘
