A From Software fan has bought the cover art of Demon's Soul for the PS5 to life with a 3D animation of the box art, including weather effects.
A talented Demon’s Souls fan has brought the PS5 box art to life with a fully animated mockup. Animated box art may just be the next cool step in the gaming industry, once the technology has been fully developed to the point that these images are able to be created on a large scale at ease.
Demon's Souls on the PS5 is the latest game in the Dark Souls genre to be released. While the original game was made by the famous Japanese developers From Software for the PlayStation 3 in 2009, the remake for the PS5 was handled by Bluepoint Games and Japan Studio. The game is technically the first Souls game, predating the famous Dark Souls series and serving as the basis for a lot of the elements still used in this series and genre today.
This animated masterpiece was posted on the Gif subreddit on Reddit by user Dion42o. While this post is better suited to the Dark Souls subreddit, true artisans of the gif community can appreciate how much effort was made by the user Dion42o. According to comments posted by Dion42o about his animation, it took the creator almost two days to complete and was made in AfterEffects and Photoshop. The animation was made by using footage of Dion42o rotating the case around and then editing the footage digitally. The reason this box art is so impressive is that Dion42o does this kind of thing for a living, as they stated in a comment on the posting.
The animated cover features many of the elements on the Demon Souls PS5 cover, only brought to life and given depth. A full depth of field has been added, giving a feeling of almost being able to reach into the box art itself. The depth of field can be viewed from different angles, with the AR technology simulating the correct point of view. Weather effects and fire animations have been added as well, with fog rolling through past the character’s feet. This encapsulates the incredible imagery that can be found in Demon Souls.
This kind of art and creative outlet is a great way to pass the time until the next Dark Souls game, Elden Ring, is released. While some fans are just waiting for more news to be released, it's nice to see some fans are getting creative with their free time. Hopefully, these kinds of posts make it to the developers, so they can see how much Demon's Souls fans care about the series.
