Bowling Wizards

Having seen the impact of the Ashok Leyland U-Truck stereoscopic video created by us, the senior management at Leyland Deere too wanted to use the same technology for the launch of their first product – the 435 Backhoe Loader.

For Nextwave, there were new challenges. First, we had to work within a shorter time frame, which meant that we had to look for technology solutions that would enable us to speed up the non-creative, processing time. We did this by upgrading our systems manifold. Second, the script this time had a large video component, which meant that considering the short time we had, we had to go for a camera solution that was easier to set-up and adjust for parallax.

Although the salient and unique features of the Leyland Deere 435 Backhoe Loader were shown through 3D animations, video was also used to show the product while introducing it and at other points in the AV. To show the product dramatically and, to an extent create a dream-like atmosphere, we made creative use of smoke, lighting and camera movements to achieve these effects. And with 3D depth added to it, the result was riveting.

The stereoscopic effect of the 3D animations of the various features and components of the 435 Backhoe Loader, were used to the maximum to make the audience, not sit at the edge of their seats, but to make them move back defensively as the parts and text came hurtling out of the screen towards them. The 3D animations were created using ‘Blender’, the open source 3D software.

The final AV was shown to a mesmerized audience at the Excon, held at Bengaluru from 23 to 27 November 2011.

Nextwave Multimedia launches Bowling Wizards – a fun filled, exciting bowling game for all ages.

The Wizard world is in crisis. The Evil Lord has cast a spell on the ‘Pines’ who have taken over the land and enslaved the ‘Bowlons’. For them it is a do or die situation, if they want to gain their freedom back.

Wizard Land comprises of 5 islands, Airea, Ruins, Lava, Frosty and Magica. Here the ‘Bowlons’ and the ‘Pines’ had lived harmoniously till the Evil Lord cast his spell.

This is where the game begins, Gamers play for the Bowlons against the Pines in the fight to break their shackle and liberate Wizard Land.

Game Play : The islands are divided into levels, each level having distinct environment, with different game play. Presently two islands, Airea and Ruins are active. In each level the gamer has to knock down all the Pines. But that is easier said than done; packed with concealed surprises and magic, the challenges are daunting. The Pines and Bowlons have a mind of their own; the alleys are mysterious and misleading, so intelligent strategy and clever game play is obligatory to win.

Rich visuals, complex and addictive game play with imaginative story telling makes this an unusually enjoyable game to play.

The Game is made using Blender 2.49 for the 3D models and Unity 3D game engine for the game development.
