I will share with you how the poignant embrace scene in the trailer for the highly anticipated game “Horizon Forbidden West” by renowned game studio Guerrilla Games was created.
When Guerrilla Games announced the sequel game “Horizon Forbidden West,” fans eagerly started wondering about the story and visual effects of the game. The studio has now shared with us how an impressive scene from the trailer was brought to life.
In the trailer, we see the main character, Aloy, sharing a heartfelt embrace with an elderly woman. This scene evoked a strong emotional response among players, and many were curious about how it was created.
According to Guerrilla Games’ blog post, the studio used a combination of real-world references, player animations, and facial expressions to create realism for the embrace scene. The most challenging part was ensuring that the player characters embraced each other realistically and emotionally.
To create this scene, the studio utilized advanced motion capture technology. Motion capture technology is used to record the movements of real actors and transfer them to digital characters. This allows for more realistic and natural player animations.
Additionally, great attention was given to facial expressions. The actors’ faces were scanned and analyzed in detail to reflect the facial expressions of the digital characters. As a result, the characters’ emotional expressions during the embrace scene were conveyed in a much more realistic manner.
By combining these techniques, Guerrilla Games created the embrace scene featured in the “Horizon Forbidden West” trailer. The studio aimed for this scene to contribute to the overall emotional atmosphere of the game and deeply impact the players.
