Our goal here was to fuse the characteristics of the Dust and Mirage maps. For inspiration, we looked to the distinct architecture and climate of Middle Eastern regions.
This 3D cinematic was created for the Counter-Strike universe and tells the story of a player seeking to upgrade his worn-out weapon. He visits a bustling market to trade skins via the SkinsMonkey platform, exchanging low-tier items for a desirable one. The environment was crafted from scratch based on CS2 references, including dozens of custom characters and assets to reflect the game’s lively atmosphere. Every corner of the market is packed with life, detail, and cinematic storytelling.
