Diablo IV Minibosses

As part of an initiative to add more variety and flesh out or monster families, I had the opportunity to design and create over a dozen dungeon miniboss model variants. I was responsible for the final in-game models, textures, and material/vertex animation work for all of these. I also established a new pipeline that would allow us to create monster model variants efficiently.

These monsters are all variations of existing character’s done by some of the talented artists that contributed to Diablo IV.
