Used base game hero textures, materials and animations from the game files. Python scripts restyled them with fixed rules: color banding, dithering, black outlines, chunky pixels and a 5 fps animation step. reduced CS2 SDK to compile. all materials come from vanilla deadlock and nothing was AI-assisted or made by an AI image / animation model. The video was rendered in Blender from my mod files.
