Wow! Fantastic work, Vigil people! This stuff is great from every direction and it's interesting to compare the finished assets with the sculpts on ZBC. I'm looking forward to playing the game when I get some free time!

Beautiful work. Thanks for posting the final assets with the textures. I'm loving the game so far as well. Do the character artists texture their own models at Vigil? Or do you have a texture artist?
