Titan Sword - Titanfall 2

Art Director: Joel Emslie
Weapons Lead: Ryan Lastimosa
FX: Ryan Ehrenberg and Robert Gaines

I had the pleasure of modeling and texturing the Titan sword based off of Ryan's ortho concept. The art direction goals were to make sure the blade felt heavy and industrial in order to appear more authentic in the hands of a giant Titan. Once I realized the FX team was going to introduce an electrical charge to the sword, I added details in the main housing to suggest the presence of sophisticated internal electronics. In terms of inspiration, Edge of Tomorrow and Pacific Rim were at the top of the list.
