Blizzard jobbar för fullt med att uppdatera karaktärsmodellerna inför World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, den femte expansionen till Blizzards onlinerollspel som ska släppas nu i höst. Nu senast har man visat upp den kvinnliga Night Elf-modellen via Battle.net.
Före- och efterbild.
"The female Night Elf was actually one of the first models we started, but as we began to develop our other character models, we also wound up refining the overall look we were going for with the models and our processes for creating them. Ultimately, we felt that in order to do the female Night Elf justice, we needed to revisit her model with fresh eyes and continue iterating based on what we'd learned from working on the other models. The Night Elves have such a distinct but subtle character, and we spent a lot of effort in trying to help that come through."
"Overall, we've made her new model a little more defined, made some of her proportions a bit more realistic, and added a bit more muscle tone. We wanted to visually communicate that she is a fully capable warrior huntress, and small details like muscle definition help highlight that. We also put additional focus on her hands and fingernails, giving a very slight point to her nails to provide just a hint of a more feral nature."
