Roblox x Twenty One Pilots

 

Twenty One Pilots and Warner Records hosted a concert, designed and built by Roblox, on September 17th, 2021

 
 
 

The band spent two days performing for motion capture and getting volumetrically mapped. From this we created their avatar rigs and started styling.

 
 
 

Both teams collaborated on early concepts for environments - most of which built on the immersive worlds already created in the Twenty One Pilots album art

 
 
 

Company play-testing allowed us to capitalize on suggestions and refinements and gave opportunity to test render fidelity, audio issues, and processing load at scale

 
 
 

Working with our developers and the band’s creative team, I designed a graffiti feature that allowed fans to ‘paint the town’ - highlighting a lyric in one of their newest singles titled ‘Saturday’

 
 
 

For digital merch I worked with the record label, establishing some ideas that met their needs and fit with our user-base. I created concepts ranging from free to limited edition items and once approved by the label worked with 3d artists that built the assets. After designing a merch booth interface, the items were loaded in and allowed users to try on avatar items before purchasing

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Working with the artists on the environment team, I helped create a world littered with artifacts from the band’s past + realistic touches such as un-anchored shipping boxes, trash (the name of their dragon), and many other surprises

 
 
 
 
 

it took a massive effort and cooperation of many. with millions of visitors and a MTV Music Award nomination, it was a certain success 🤘
