About this piece

Pirate Ship animation

This pirate cart was made for a school project. The goal was to make a stylised cart that would fit in a game like on Mario Kart. I decided to go for a pirate theme because I really like boats and felt like making a pirate cart would be a fun challenge. I went for barrels of different sizes that each have a different angle to them, this way it will look like the cart is riding on the waves due to the cylindrical rotation.

The animation of the main sail "bounces" according to the wave movement, while the front sail rotates according to the steering of the cart. Due to the wheels giving a wave like movement, I decided to add wooden waves at the bow of the ship, which added a nice touch to the overall look of the cart.


Problems I faced

I didn't face any major problems while making this piece. The only things I struggled with were the coloring of the textures and the animation of the sails. Next to that, getting the pixel density right took slightly longer than expected.
