Cinematic Cutscenes for Ubisoft( 2023 – 2024)

K9 Digital partnered with Ubisoft to deliver high-quality cinematic cutscenes for several flagship titles. In 2023, we created a fully performance-captured sequence featuring NieR: Automata’ s 2B for a crossover event, ensuring her iconic design was faithfully represented while optimised for in-game cinematics. For Assassin’ s Creed Mirage( 2024), our team developed historically accurate character models and animations, working closely with Ubisoft’ s narrative and art teams to integrate them seamlessly into pre-rendered story moments. In Tom Clancy’ s Rainbow Six Siege( 2024), we crafted cinematic sequences that blended high-action visuals with tactical realism, using advanced facial rigging and motion capture cleanup. These projects required rapid iteration, strict adherence to brand style guides, and close coordination with multiple production teams— skills directly applicable to theme park pre-shows, immersive queue media, and ride narrative moments.

3D Characters & Creatures for Star Wars

K9 Digital was entrusted with creating 3D characters and creatures for Star Wars projects, working under Lucasfilm’ s and LucasArts’ rigorous visual and storytelling guidelines. Our artists translated concept art and lore into production-ready models for real-time rendering, ensuring they met both creative and technical benchmarks. These assets ranged from iconic species to new creature designs, each optimised for Unreal Engine to balance fidelity and performance. Working with a globally recognised IP demanded absolute accuracy in proportions, materials, and animation style to maintain brand authenticity. Our collaborative approach included asset integration testing, shader development for realistic materials, and LOD optimisation for varied uses— from cinematic shots to interactive environments. The same techniques and attention to detail make our work ideal for theme park applications such as interactive meet-and-greets, immersive ride scenes, and themed media for attractions where believability and audience immersion are paramount.
