Mechanized Assault RE: Operation Breakthrough

Programming and Modeling

Mechanized Assault is a dear project to me, being first prototyped in 2017 and getting a partial release in 2019. After launching Mechanized Assault in 2019 as a solo college Capstone project, I wanted to continue working on it until I had something I can truly be proud of. After many months of sharpening skills I was finally able to deep dive into creating my dream. This model is just the start of my project.

AKB - Light Mecha Unit

Modeling

Found on twitter and originally created by user @AK_BAN22 I loved the design so much I wanted to model it. That being said I also wanted to keep most of the edge lines from the sketch. After modeling this was my first project that I composited using Unreal Engine 4 and now I'll be doing more of that!
