KDA Live AR

Product Specialist, The Future Group, 2019

We were contacted by Riot Games, who wanted us to author AR characters for their world championship.
The characters were four female characters from the world hit MOBA, League Of Legends, sporting a TBA set of cosmetic reskins.

Since I was the one on the team with the most character modelling experience, I created the base mesh used by all four characters. I also did all the modelling and surfacing work on Ahri, seen below, although I was not responsible for rigging, animation, or facial blend shapes.

Lastly, I was onsite for the production in Seoul, South Korea, doing final lighting, ingesting last minute fixes from the team in Norway, and operating content during the show.

An updated model of the Akali model was used later that year in Shanghai, for the LPL regionals, in both a live interview segment and a pre-mocapped dance segment. I was onsite for these as well, as an AR operator, both operating and finalizing content. Videos are provided below.
