For this project, I decided to create a 2D Pixel Sprite of Link from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I started by modeling some beveled cubes in Maya to use as my pixels. I ensured these blocks were properly to scale by importing the mannequin asset from Unreal Engine.
Next, I used my blocks to create a plane as large as my final image for the sprite to be used as a guide.
Once I imported these into ureal Engine, I placed my cubes, color by color, on top of my guide. To make this process faster and to allow me to change texture settings after the fact, I created a base material and used that as the base for all of my instances which just had a change in color from the original.
After setting up some lighting and cameras, I cleaned up my outliner but placing all the cubes into one group so that they could be easily found and manipulated.
Finally, I was able to take some beauty shots and set up a small video showcasing my work with the help of my classmates and Professor Zuccarello to ensure the keyframing worked properly.
Please enjoy the final product!
