[quote]The normal Maps are looking Grade A by the way[/quote] Thankyou, OrleanKnight! We're giving it our best. I have to say that often my most favorite part of what I do is handing my model over to the animators and watching this static thing come to life and become a dynamic personality in the game. Then our FX guys come in and REALLY put it over the top with coolness. The "whitebox" approach allows us to see our character operating successfully in the game [I]befo

[quote]You've got some great concept art and now, need to model it out, map it and incorporate it into the game. How do you bring together a new demigod concept into the game? Are the skills, animations, and feel for the character tweaked after its modeled and ported in?[/quote] The "whitebox" process begins with a fairly rough model which establishes the basic form, proportions, and initial scale of the character (no UV-mapping yet) which is rigged up and exported to the game with a co

I represent roughly half of the Demigod character modeling crew. I say “roughly” because, while Matt Dudley and I are currently the only ones tasked with modeling and texturing characters at this stage, Nate has also had his hands in some of the earlier modeling work. (Furthermore, I believe that Matt is an inch or t
