Cars 2 Game for Leap Frog Explorer

Inlight Entertainment called on Markus to help put the pedal to the metal in eight mini games that teach measurement, patterns, graphs and more.

Markus created models, textures and even a car design for use in the Cars 2 game for Leap Frog's handheld console.

Markus created the shaders for these race cars.

Tech Notes

Markus modelled the tractor based on rough sketches received from Pixar. The Chewall tractor included deformable lips in the finished model so that the tractor could be posed with different expressions.

Inlight Entertainment required a mob car that was unique to this game, so Markus designed and build one using NURBS and custom car-paint shaders.

Markus received untextured models for three race cars and created custom, multi-layer car paint shaders using Mental Ray and Photoshop.

The game was created by Inlight Entertainment for the handheld Leap Frog Explorer
