We collaborated with NovaPulse Studios to produce a high-stakes 3D teaser for their upcoming superhero franchise, Superion. The 45-second trailer featured the protagonist’s jaw-dropping feat of stopping a spaceship mid-launch, designed to ignite audience excitement and showcase next-gen animation quality.
CHALLENGES & APPROACH
The client needed a visually stunning yet emotionally gripping sequence to introduce Superion’s powers. Our team used Unreal Engine 5’s Nanite and Lumen for photorealistic environments and dynamic lighting. The hero’s muscle rigging and cloth simulation were hand-tuned for fluid movement, while particle systems amplified the spaceship’s explosive thrusters. We iterated on camera angles to balance scale (spaceship) and intimacy (hero’s facial determination), ensuring cinematic impact.
Process Highlights
Pre-Production: Concept art explored 12 hero poses before finalizing the “ship pull” as the climax.
Tech Highlights: UE5’s real-time rendering cut post-production time by 30%.
Sound Design: Custom score mixed with metallic creaks and energy-field hums for immersion.
Techniques: Real-time rendering, hyper-realistic physics simulations, cinematic color grading.
Client Testimonial
“Mahima Studios’ expertise in Unreal Engine 5 brought Superion’s power to life in ways we couldn’t imagine. Their attention to physics and emotion set a new bar for our franchise.”
