Symphonesia is an exploratory musically-based interactive experience where players are blind but can visualize music and the environment around them similarly to synesthesia.  We created this project for an internal client within the university - Ph.D. student Marta Rossi. 

The biggest challenge of the game was to create models designed to be viewed in the dark - so most of the focus was placed on silhouettes and form, rather than texturing and details.

 Main Responsibilities/ Role:

• 3D Artist: Worked on asset creation, and environment models. The style was intended to be shape-orientated and low poly. Primarily using Blender. Developed toon shader for the end cutscene.

• UV unwrapping, baking, and texturing of models using Substance Painter. Texturing using a single color palette for efficiency

• UI/ UX Designer: Involved in the UI/UX design - designed buttons, power-up icons, player HUD, and individual menus.

• 2D Art: Designed concept art/ visual reference for modeling, illustrative cutscenes, and logos for the project. 

  • Created pattern materials for the synethesesia-inspired shader.
