This is a project I finished for the lovely RaiderRadioFM.
I was asked to create a PNGTuber avatar, a stream overlay, splash screens, and logos based on a cyberpunk/"Cassette Futurist" setting of his design. Highly valued was the idea that the screen and assets themselves help tell the story of an alternative world where this stream is a radio show.
Example screen using footage from Cyberpunk 2077 to show the assets in action
Animated "Be Right Back" screen showing the inside of the radio station bunker in this setting, created and animated in Blender 4.4
Alternative splash screen as a still image, and the most explicitly Synthwave image in the batch. As part of this worldbuilding, the city is represented by Synthwave while the wasteland beyond is represented as Cassette Futurism
Various logo designs
RaiderRadioFM created their character design in Hero Forge as a base for me to adapt the character from. I went through a couple sketch revisions until we were happy, then built them into an avatar compatible with PngTuber Plus.
This work, like everything else expect the 3D bunker room, were sketched by hand then rendered in Adobe Photoshop
Final overlay
The following images are quick mash-ups created as options for the overlay. These were created after sitting with Twitch.tv and browsing through streams to see what standards and concepts are in use, with a focus on common features.
Given the requirements of the client for a non-minimalist stream overlay (which is the most common among gaming streamers), art and music streamers were some of the better supporting examples along with VTuber streams.
