SWTOR P1-XL Boxdroid

This was a very special project for me. I wanted to create a new shape/style of astromech droid for SWTOR. I used many elements from the original astromech droids and incorporated them into a new cube shape with curved edges. I also created several animated pieces such as the periscope that pops up when it is spawned, and an accessory/tool bay door that opens periodically and waves at the player, and retracts. This periscope pivot was on a lazy follow rig component that I asked the engineering team to put in the engine for more dynamic secondary motion.
All of the animation of the parts and lights I did through our VFX tools in the SWTOR engine, and we released this as a new style of pet reward for our May the 4th promotion.
