Zombieland Headshot Fever: Reloaded, Smartik Office

Zombieland Headshot Fever: Reloaded is a PSVR2 remaster of it’s Quest predecessor. The original game was made with a high-to-low poly pipeline, and lots of these high-poly assets remained in the dev files. Our Reloaded pipeline involved adjusting these high-poly assets to a mid-low-poly range, rejigging their shape and texturing to match the new toon art style. We called this whole process “upres-ing”.

As well as updating the assets visually, upres-ing also involved bringing our existing props and scenes to more of a breathing life: deconstructing our previously entirely solid meshes, and giving them adjustable elements in their internal hierarchies that we could tweak in-scene. I would also add damage, things like adding physical rips of geometry. Also, the capabilities of the PSVR2 meant we could have a lot of fun set dressing; we got to throw in a lot of personality props, and decals.

Along with upres-ing props, I also made lots of new assets, and created new materials for use across our scenes.

I upres'd most of the structural elements, and lots of props in this scene. I also created the floor hole - it went through a few different iterations. I think the panelled carpets definitely worked well with the outline toon shader in the end!

Carolina's Graphic Design is used heavily throughout this scene (linked in the side)

We got a lot of mileage out of upres-ing the existing props in the scene. Here are newer elements I introduced.
