Infold Games shares the technical and artistic decisions behind Infinity Nikki, an open-world RPG and 2025 Apple Design Award winner for Visuals and Graphics. The team of ~800 discusses their custom fabric material system using four-layer UV blending textures, a proprietary jewelry rendering system with complex refraction and 3S light transmission, and physical simulation using skeletal chain algorithms and Chaos Cloth. They also explain how they worked around Unreal Engine 5's motion blur interference on UV animations to achieve animated outfit patterns, and how constraint-based algorithms replaced collision-based ones for stable cloth physics across platforms.
