Here’s a link to an extremely cool retrospective on the art and design of the TV series itself. https://characterdesignreferences.com/art-of-animation-6/art-of-oban-star-racers

Art Direction, GUI Design & 3D Production.  Fully immersive browser based 3D flying game.  Environment and vehicle designs derived directly from television show assets, utilizing some of our favroite front projection texture baking techniques.

The team had a blast executing and play testing this one, stretching the Otoy engine to its limits to create an immersive experience which is very faithful to the look of the show.
