Celestial Lions - Air Springs

Description

This is the final draft for the Air Springs model for the game Hop. This was my favorite prop for the game, the original model the developers had was a red BSP ball that they just had floating in the air. When the player hit it they were projected upwards to higher platforms in the level. With the developers having portals as a staple of transportation in the game, i wanted to design something that would blend well with them. One of my inspirations was the sonic rings from the original Genesis. I then added some animation to make it more fun and give a better sense to the player that they are being pushed by these rings.
