Symbiotes take various forms and play a significant role in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. These symbiotes are rendered in highest fidelity during the game cinematics. Insomniac created a variety of workflows to make symbiotes. These workflows had to be robust enough to convey life-like motion, fast enough for users to iterate within a production timeline, and performant enough to run at sixty frames per second. This presentation breaks down the creation process of cinematic symbiotes in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. The presenters walk through custom procedural tools created to facilitate art directable effects, the export process, and the custom engine systems implemented. The presenters dedicate special attention to showcasing a novel real-time meshing system used extensively in the rendering of Symbiotes in Marvel's Spider-man 2.
