** BloodRayne 2 image dump (lots of pics)
mod
Howdy, finally got some in-game renders of my characters.
As most of you know, I do characters here at Terminal Reality.
Below are the characters I made and a couple of level assets. There are 20 pics in total, they may take some time to load.
(none of the cloth sim stuff is turned on, that's why some of the meshes look rigid)

Geez that's some pretty amazing work, busy man.
All the Rayne variations and Ferril, very hot stuff, loving the dingey style of the U Punks/Xerx and the 'ninja' females are pretty funky
Z Punks look like a buncha MM wannabes
For some reason I can't figure out what's going on with the bottom left zookeeper?
Great Work, You've just contributed to selling the game to me even more.
The Dhampirs have very nice uniforms. They are much better dressed than the usual evil army. I'd sign up with them.
It's odd how Ferrill has high heels even though she doesn't seem to be wearing anything.
Does the female ninja have barbed wire wrapped around one leg?
I can't see the Mansion Fountain very well. What is it?
Now, to answer some questions:
RazorBladder : That zookeeper is encased in a roach egg. Roach golems spawned from those. I did those too, but I don't have an easy way to show the roach golems off.
SjetvsKerrigan : Those are actually Ferril's feet. She can morph her hands and feet. You can see her two clawed toes at the tip of her foot if you look closely.
Yeah, the ninja's have barbed wire all over them.
It's an angel in cuffs with a serpant wrappend around her. I should make a better render of it.
Thanks again you guys. Keep the questions coming if you have them.
I can't wait to play this game (I'll be buying it on PC when it comes out)
Sectaurs is right, the cowgirl, very inspirational, haha.
Cowgirl Rayne's initial design came from Juan after he saw pornstar Tawny Roberts sport a very sexy cowboy hat and tube top. He layed down the basic mesh for the clothes and I went in, finished the design and finalised the mesh. Then that's when I threw out my back and had to go to the hospital, so Bryan had to finish off the texture.
Thanks again you guys!
I'll do that tomorrow or so.
Stuff looks good, for some reason my favorite model is the first Rayne. You should post progress shots of the pre-prototype, prototype and final Rayne next to each other. The pre-prototype one if FULGY!

Hah! or I can do this:
BR1 vs. BR2
hehehe wow the first one has that grey skin tone that alot of beginner skinners end up getting. wicked improvement
[/ QUOTE ]
It was a collab between the game designer and art director of BR1. Yeah, I said the game designer and art director. Yeah, they're working on Duke Forever now.
Good luck fighting the odds, I hope you'll be successful despite the christmas onslaught.
And yeah, Dark Rayne has definitely the most interesting concept. Not that "slutty" and pretty complicated.
Kestral looks a bit too UT-ish compared to the rest, though.
They'd almost fit into Painkiller but their concepts aren't insane enough for that.
i thought that project was shut down O.o guess some things refuse to die
sorry to go off topic
thats pretty interesting that the game designer would do something like that? was the company really really small at the time?
To be honest, I had absolutely no desire to play BR2, but after seeing the the pimps from you and the rest of the TR crew I may end up picking it up after all.
Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on all the hard work. For anyone that wants to try the game, there's a demo on this month's Xbox magazine disc. Definitely plays much better than the first one.
did you guys do the pin-up for Playboy? it looks fucking great too
To answer some questions:
n30g3n3s1s : The game designer was a character artist on Nocturne and Blair Witch 1. Rayne, in those games, was named 'Svetlana', and she was one of his characters. So when BloodRayne came around, and was redesigned, he wanted to personally build her since he was pretty attatched to her character.
FatAssasin : Rayne is anywhere from 4400 to 5300 depending on which model.
The other bosses (Ferril, Ephemera, Xerx) are aroung 3500.
The minor vampires (damphir, kestrals) are around 3000.
and the punks are around 2000 to 3000 max for any single variation.
moose : No, we didn't do that pin-up. I forget the name of the company that did it, but they're the same guys that did our game cover.
Again, thank you everyone for the kind words. I'll be back with wires when I can, and some other environment art I've done.
You saw Rayne in the paper yesterday, right?
Asskickin' babes rule.
/jzero
Had me drooling for aaages, hope BR2 does, I imagine it will since even the stills are managing it
the tattoo work on dark rayne is pretty cool too, likewise with the leather on ephemera. cool shit mang. The dress rayne is still by far my fav
I like the regular and the dark versions best.
sadly i missed the first one but awesome gothstyle.
Hmmm, a chaos! Chastity to play with

I want to make a couple of points here. Having worked with Chris DeSimone and Joe Wampole, I can tell you they are exceptional talents and anyone should be happy to have them on their team. I have been in this industry for over 9 years and learned early on that no matter where you are, things can change dramatically and someone you are talking down today could be the hiring manager tomorrow. The only bridges I have ever burned were to the people that I would never work for or with again.
You do have a talent, no question. However you are working on a 2nd generation engine for a much higher system spec than the original BloodRayne was built for. Take into account the increase in poly's and the texture space allowed and your work should be a natural progression.
Finally, 3DRealms has KILLED with their products which allows them to take the time to do them right. I would never be able to work on something that long, but I am betting that when the game comes out, it's going to be utterly astounding.
Anyway... my 2 cents.

(Just to clear things up, because this has been said by a few different people.) When that render was made the BR2 model was lower poly and used 1 spec, normal, and diffuse map at 1024x512 each. While the BR1 model is higher poly and uses roughly 20 spec, bump, and diffuse maps at varying size.
The models are close enough to the same specs to compare fairly. I prefer the BR2 model overall, but I agree that the face is a little odd looking.
How's it going Juan?! Hope things are going ok for you. Are you still at TRI or did you go somewhere else? Keep me up to date.
