We couldn't wait for Samus to return in Metroid Dread, so we made our own version for anyone to download! This model is textured and rigged for any animation purposes you may require. To create this model we needed to analyze the original model before the game was released. In this video we talk about what we learned and how we used this information to make our own higher detailed model.
