space invaders: hidden heroes ar



The Space Invaders are here, and they are determined to destroy the entire planet! But there is hope--using your phone's camera, you can scan everyday objects to uncover Sparks, the powerful heroes hidden within. It's up to you and your Sparks to save the world! Build and level up your team to enhance their abilities, take on weekly challenges, and unlock advanced tech to discover even stronger Sparks. The fate of Earth rests in your hands!

I was responsible for the tech art on the search/scan scene, the ring taming mini-game, and the battle game (creating 3D assets, making textures/shaders, setting up animation state machines, blocking out sequences in Timeline, etc.).



I updated and maintained the Spark's rig, and created the Space Invaders rig. Every Spark used the same rig--it could adapt to different proportions thanks to modular bone setups for arms, tails/wings, and props! The Space Invaders rig, though much less complex, followed similar logic.



I also handled performance profiling, sharing insights with both art and programming teams to help keep everything running efficiently!
