3D Christmas Character Maker Game

This festive 3D Christmas Character Maker Game is an excellent way of getting your class into the Christmas spirit while developing some important skills in the process.

Fun, interactive games like this one are a perfect way for children to unwind in the classroom when the Christmas holidays are coming up. The aim of the game is simple; make your own 3D festive characters and complete tasks to earn rewards.

This was a fun challenge to make, this was one of my first real in-depth dives into making a 3D game. I have done 3D before but developing this web game really enhanced my understanding of rigs as that was essential to manage this project.

This game also has 18 tasks to give players something more to do. These tasks were all designed to be playful, funny and encourage the user to use all character creation tools this game offers.

There are 12 characters, each with a head, torso, leg and arm. You can drag and drop to use these parts to create a character you want. You can also resize the body parts. You can preview your model in 3D, you can rotate the camera, change the background, change the ground and animate your charatcer. Furthermore, you can pause the animation and then use a slider to pick the perfect frame you want your character to be in.

UI design was one of the core challenges with this game. We went though about 7 different versions before we arrived at this layout.
