Rhinobeast for Charr zones. Oh hey.
Earth Elemental from various places in game.
I will very likely do beauty shots of all of these and replace them as I work through that. But whatevs.
But more! MORE! MOAR!
Amazing work as always.
I assume fire and ice ele are pretty much the same as the earth..<.<
well keep track of this thread for the updates.
Thanks for sharing stoofoo
Can't wait to kill them!
Really great stuff, i love how all your work is pushed to emphasize character...for the worm and rhino beast, there is just a certain realism to their overall look that makes me feel like it's modeled after a real beast I could go outside and see (I mean the actual thing you modeled). As for the elemental, well, we all know rocks can't think! (or can they!?!?
I really can't wait for GW2 and I know it's going to set standards for the game industry if everything goes as you guys intend. The pure quality of work and the feats you are attempting to feature is just really great. If it does work out, I really hope more companies try to establish the same type of interactivity and "real" teamwork/community
How many tris is that on by the way? :poly124:
Looking forward to try out GW2!
/Cheers

Great work, Joe
but the creatures look pretty good i guess
Jack: Dev commands are your friend. I was swimming in the hole today!
So this is an older shot of a monster from an older video. But. Here.
This one is defintely an old material set and old shot. I'll update it when I get a chance with a ninja edit you will never notice. =P
You guys are obviously working too hard over there.
Jason Jaun is the artist.
"Builded in Maya, Zbrush, and Photoshop
Polygon Count: 3500-4500 Triangles, Tree Creature is 7000 Triangles
Textures: 1X1024X1024, Tree Creature is 2X1024X1024
Arenanet just released some GW2 official videos, and these are parts of the ceatures I made showing in the videos."
some of your spec powers seam a bit too glossy on a few of your early posts though
looking good joe!
A Creature like the worm or earthelemental, took 8 days to create, revisions and changes not included?
Wow, i wish i had so much time on my hands. I know it may sound harsh but I have to say, that the worm is more like a 1-2 days job. While the sculpt seems to be nice work, i don't think it pops out that much, the texture looks like it didn't take much time at all and i think it is the weakest parts on all of the models you present here, maybe its mostly old stuff and things have changed and already been adressed, but texturewise the only part i really like is the fleshy parts, the whole shell could definitely use some colourvariation and specularityvariation going on to make it a great piece.
The Earthelemental looks super random to me, this is more a design decision i guess - but it could be slapped together from just some rocks that have already been created by env artists, to me definitely not special enough to be worth the time you put into it.
I like the beast very much, it looks like the sculpt is VERY well done but it doesn't look as good on the lowpoly, maybe its the shader and ingame it looks much better but i think again the texture and or shading is pushing it down.
Also I like the firethingy, definitly some complex stuff going on, and i think 8 days sounds reasonable on this piece. The textures have a nice amnount of variation going on and i really like the lower body, the rock/lava stuff looks very nice, and the glowing bits are a great touch.
Together with the rhino my favourite pieces.
I would really love to see the sculpts of these and actual ingameshots to see them in all their glory, and thats what its all about, if it fits in the game and looks great forget all the stuff i said, just wanted to reply on what i can see here.
