Meet our hero!

This curious little robot is the protagonist of the film. He will go on quite the adventure...


Say hello to Rusty!

He's old, decayed and muddy. But behind the rust, there's some wisdom. Will our hero listen to him?


The Crater

A crater with a crashed spaceship and a mystical portal is the centerpiece of the films environment.
Creating this asset was quite challenging, since it had to work well from a distance and very close up. It has a fairly complex combination of assets and FX elements that all need to work in harmony to create a believable scene.
