Working with existing Call of Duty assets, the goal was to push fidelity and visual storytelling to a new level. I led the 3D process — upresing models, refining textures, and amplifying cinematic language.

The result is a striking animated piece that embodies strength, mystery, and the unmistakable Call of Duty energy. Power, prestige, and intensity in every frame.

Game assets reframed as cinematic portraits

The starting point was existing Call of Duty geometry and textures built for real-time. The work was in the gap between what the game engine renders and what a cinematic frame demands — upresing models, refining surfaces, and rebuilding the lighting from scratch.

The animated piece that came out of it carries the Call of Duty energy without looking like gameplay. Strength, mystery, and intensity in every frame — earned through material work, not post effects.
