MMP1 - AVIDITAS

The story follows a younger brother who spent his entire life pushed into the shadows, ignored by his family. Fueled by years of neglect and quiet resentment, he finally snaps and unleashes a brutal attack on his older brother's castle to take the crown by force. But while he manages to seize the throne, the victory comes with a heavy price. Fatally wounded in the fight, he collapses the moment he gets what he wanted. Sometimes winning comes at the cost of losing everything. This was our first project utilizing Unreal Engine. To bring this vision to life, we split the workflow based on our strengths: Jan Panholzer: Story and Concept 3D Modeling (custom assets) Asset retexturing and quality control Throne room design Camera composition & Lighting Castle, Village and Set Dressing Oliver Kraus: Landscape & Environment design Character setup & Rigging Crowd simulation (Army Blueprint system) Animation & Motion Capture cleanup Post-production & Color grading Thanks to Johannes Adami for taking over all the audio work including the music, foley and SFX.
