FAQ
Q: Why are you ReSmashifying Rayman instead of making a new character? A: Since Rayman fans were shortchanged during our channel rebrand "ARG," we decided it's only fair to give them something for their trouble. Also, ReSmashifying Rayman with a proper 3D model about 4 years after the original Smashified feels right.
Q: Are there new Smashified characters in the works? A: Yes! There are currently 3 in the pipeline with significant progress on each.
Q: Will you ReSmashify other characters? A: Possibly! Although there are currently no specific plans.
Q: What software are you using for this? A: Blender 2.8 (beta)Curiomatic Channel TrailerCuriomatic2019-02-18 | Welcome to Curiomatic, the next chapter in our creative journey to explore the creative aspects of games, from art, music, design, and the creative process.
