I was lucky enough to be at Imaginary Forces when they were bringing this League of Leagues animation to life. Riot Games’s art department does some truly amazing work in the motion graphics department. It was an honor to do a piece for them with such high visibility. I contributed the main modeling work for the hero structure and the rough X-Particles simulations. to make even the login screen for League of Legends a more magical user experience.
Awesome 4AM co-collaborators include Henry Lee, Austin Marola, Jay White and Tess Sitzmann.
Here is the infinite looping version of the animation that plays while users have the login screen up.
