Baccarat After Work — Visual Development
A visual development project exploring the creation of Baccarat After Work, from custom table skin and AI-generated presenter imagery to compositing and final promotional assets.
The Brief
Baccarat After Work brought together custom table design, AI-generated presenter imagery and promotional visuals to create a distinctive look for the game.
The focus was on developing these elements individually before bringing them together into a cohesive, polished visual.
Swimwear Development
Custom swimwear was developed through reference-led AI generation, refining the garment's colour, embroidery and detailing to achieve the desired look. The final design was established as a separate asset before being incorporated into the presenter imagery.

CK Background Development
Developing the visual environments that define the game's setting, from early creative concepts through to the final chroma key backgrounds. The process involved exploring different environmental styles, refining the chosen direction and translating it into a cohesive set of studio backdrops designed to complement the game's visual identity.
Concept Exploration
The initial concepts explored contrasting settings, from a vibrant Malibu nightclub to a relaxed spa resort. The process ultimately moved towards a contemporary office environment, providing a more suitable foundation for the game's final studio backgrounds.
