Lamplighter's Round: the lamplighter

The Godot Lab's first hero, in all three phases of the 2D pre-rendered pipeline. The AI concept turnaround (left); the Blender build — fused voxel-remeshed masses per material, rigid-bound to a 14-bone rig, keyframed walk/idle/lamp-raise, rendered from four real directions into a 48-frame sprite sheet with a camera-space NORMAL-MAP pass beside it (centre); and the character in the live Godot build, where those normal maps make every lamp a true 2D light rolling over coat folds and cobbles (right).
