Solitaire TriPeaks

In 2014, our studio created Solitaire TriPeaks for the Game Show Network. It was our first mobile card game, and it quickly became the Number 1 Card Game on Android, as well as breaking the Top 100 Highest Grossing Apps on both Android and Apple.

Players enjoyed a tropical solitaire arena with over 600 levels and islands. In the tradition of keeping characters at the center of our games, we gave the players a trusty guide Tiki and his loveable dog Poi.

Production Insight: Rendering Techniques

When creating the trailer for the game I used a simple layering technique commonly used in film. Tiki was rendered in Maya using three render passes. Specular Highlights capture shines and reflections. Ambient Occlusion calculates bounced light from the environment. Finally, the Color Pass produces the pure color value of Tiki's texture.

The three passes were then composited together in After Effects to get the final result.
