BRON Digital Gossamer: Secrets of the Heap Art Blast
To bring its upcoming slate of Animated Features and Television series to life, BRON Studios has fully embraced the power of Unreal Engine. Under the guidance of Jason Chen the studio chose a platform that can seamlessly cater to various media domains such as Film, Television, Games, Interactive Experiences, Blockchain, NFTs, and beyond. Unreal Engine’s incredible efficiency and flexibility, along with its gaming-oriented workflow, enabled swift creation of countless immersive Worlds that can be utilized across all of the company’s divisions and platforms.
One of these Worlds inside the Gossamer IP, there exists a captivating fairy realm known as the “Heap.” This magical world serves as the home to our beloved protagonist, “Lil” or “Littlest One,” who is an in-training Gossamer, a dream giving fairy. We’re happy to share with you the evolution of the “Heap” from its conceptual inception to its remarkable transition into the realm of Film, and even further into the expansive universe of Fortnite as an immersive gaming experience
Alongside the artistic voyage of the Heap, we’re thrilled to shed light on the technical aspects involved in bringing this imaginative world to fruition. From Concept to assets in a Digital Content Creation (DCC) tool, then into Unreal Engine and the process of bringing the Heap into Unreal Fortnite Creative, where the world truly comes alive.
