In honor of Grant Kirkhope’s new album “Banjo-Kazooie Re-Jiggyed,” I wanted to do a little remaster of my own! This is a remake of the original N64 asset from Banjo-Kazooie, the 4th transformation when Mumbo turns you into the pumpkin.
As an enviromnent artist, I hardly ever get to do character animation, so it was fun to dive back into it. I hand-keyed the entire animation, as well as modeled and textured everything from scratch using the original game mesh as a refrence. I completely bypassed the Low-poly stage because it wasn’t my primary goal for this piece.
