Miscellaneous Prop Models - Lost Planet 3

Here are some models I created for various props for the game "Lost Planet 3".

These were used as gameplay objectives, cinematic props, collectibles or pickups. All modeled in Maya, ZBrush and running in Unreal Engine 3.

These binoculars were used in a cinematic for a scuttled DLC package. They were supposed to be a snow environment futuristic binoculars, inspired by the famous Hoth binoculars in "Star Wars".

This was a bomb or improvized explosive device (IED) that the Snow Pirate team has planted in the Multi-Player campaign. Your objective, depending on which side you play, is to dissarm or protect this asset. The theme of "Thermal Energy" flows in all design aspects of the Lost Planet series, and in this case it is used as an accelerant inside the make-shift bomb. The "Snow Pirates" use obsolete technology and scavanged materials to make their weapons and supplies. The TE Bomb was designed to show this.

Dr. Kovac is a misguided scientist in Lost Planet 3. He creates and uses this machine to drive the alien wildlife on E.D.N.3 crazy in an attempt to domesticate them. They become hostile and attack. You must destroy these devices along the way in various levels. They serve as a gameplay objective. I also created a destroyed version and some scraps and VFX frags for when you destroy it.

In a Cinematic, pretty late in the game, Jim awakens from a near fatal injury/coma. He has been recovering with the help of this medical device. It is a portable health monitoring device and "T Energy" pump. In the Lost Planet mythos, "Thermal Energy" has regenerative/preservative properties and the Snow Pirates have figured out how to use it to heal themselves. The concept I used for this was of a modern insulin pump - a device for diabetics that monitors blood glucose with an onboard computer and administers insulin at regular intervals. Instead, this one would use TE.

This prop was used in one of the in-game-cinematic momments. One of the more colorful characters, "Crazy Niel" is soaking in the employee jacuzzi tub. This little guy is bobbing around with him. I don't know why, but I love this little guy...so enjoy!

In Lost Planet 3, many characters will ask you to retreive personal mementos - objects with personal significance to them. This antique silver flask is one of them.

Another memento which is the object of a side quest.

A major portion of the game "Lost Planet 3" takes place while operating the "Vital Suit" - a 50 foot tall humanoid construction robot. The "Rig" as it is called by the main characters, has a 3-fingered claw hand it uses to manipulate things and fight. To open large gates, or clamp mooring ties, or manually start mining machinery you must grab this handle and enter a rotation mechanic in the game. The claw hand is a match fit inside this handle and is used everywhere as a gameplay mechanic.
