In nuce: Quinton Qu, Technical Artist at Chinese computer game developer miHoYo, has managed to do what leading Substance 3D designers previously thought impossible: to cram a playable platformer featuring plumber Mario into Adobe’s 3D tool.
Insanity Awards: Quinton Que’s work has paid off, as his Mario port for Substance 3D Designer has been honoured with this year’s Insanity Awards. The Insanity Award is presented by Adobe and is aimed at projects that push the technical limitations of Substance 3D Designer to their limits.
The winners: In addition to the first place winner Quinton Que, Cino Lai took second place with his creative project “Stylised Parametric Building”, and Pauline Boiteux was able to secure second place with “Thistle”.
Click further: All the winners and their creative projects – whether with Mario Madness or without Classic Gaming – can be found on Adobe’s corresponding blog entry. Mario fanboy Quinton Qu is looking forward to your visit on his Artstation profile. Also get to know Qu’s employer, the Chinese computer game developer miHoYo .
