Warmachine Game Art

[kmack]

Just posted a close-up render of Kommander Sorscha's in-game model.

She's really a tragic figure in a lot of ways, and I love that a touch of that sadness comes through beneath her tough-as-nails exterior.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

[GcFlash]

It is a fantasic render! If all the in game stuff looks as good as this you will have some very happy fans.

You do know now everyone is going to start asking for their favorite. :)

[Xarksas]

Awesome :)
I think that game will look great :)

[ATC 1982]

That looks really good cause her eyes look hypnotic.

[Randall]

we need wallpapers, tons of wallpapers :D

[Skyydragonn]

WOW If thats a close up of an in game render...I'm afraid to even think what the system specs are going to be in order to play the game lol


P.S PLEASE PLEASE Don't give us PC players a crappy port of the console title (like some other companies love to do)

[kmack]

Got something cool for you guys (at least, I think it's cool :) ) - wanted to get it posted today, but it'll have to wait for next week (going away for the long weekend, to make up for missing Burning Man this year).

Have a great long weekend in the meantime!

I approve.

It could just be me, but something about the face looks a little off from what I envisioned, but I'm thinking it's just the lighting. His eyes seem really sunk in. That or he just has no eyebrows and that's throwing me off.

Thanks for bringing this up, Kmack. It looks awesome other than my little thing.

[Wordsmith]

I like the model, though the face looks a little chunky. All the art seemed to suggest sleeker facial lines and maybe a hint of gauntness. Are these just the base models, and as the game continues developement they get more refined?

[moz]

Great textures and I like the armor a lot. I'll echo the sentiment to thin the man down a little - mostly just from the cheeks in my opinion.

The cover of Apotheosis is one of the most inspired pieces of Warmachine art and prominently features Stryker in all his hulked out glory. If you can stay true to that version you certainly won't disappoint. Of course there are also 4 other pictures of Stryker in Apotheosis and no two of them look like they could be the same person, so it is certainly within the artists prerogative to run with an idea.

This is exciting stuff, thanks for posting the progress.

[InvaderZahn]

I like that he looks young and innocent, this is his non-epic version I think it fits the fluff.

I mean lets face it you can tell he's a freaking boyscout just by looking at him.

I think its Great!

[delpheus]

unfortunately the stryker model does not look nearly as impressive as the sorscha one. i'm not quite sure what happened.

i hope future models revert back to the sorscha quality.

[JediChris]

As an aspiring 3D modeler my self I was wondering what the poly count is on a model like stryker and Sorcha.

[ATC 1982]

unfortunately the stryker model does not look nearly as impressive as the sorscha one. i'm not quite sure what happened.

i hope future models revert back to the sorscha quality.

I will pass this on to the team and rest assured another art picture will not come back out before it's time. This is what I am being told at least. ;)

[kmack]

:) Think you guys will like where the new revisions on Stryker are going.

[kmack]

@JediChris - Sorscha's around 20k polys for the final in-game model. A high-res model is built first, from which a normal map is baked, modified, and applied to the lower-res in-game model.

[skarburn]

Ooo, I'm liking the sound of this.

[Leatherman]

The Sorscha model is absolutely spot on. The innocence in Stryker's face is right for sure, it being before he went all vengeful, but he looks like he needs to cut down on the cheese-steak subs if you know what I mean. Can't wait to see the revised model.

EDIT: In hindsight, the model you have here reminds me a bit of the Royal Guard Coleman Stryker figure from the Iron Kingdoms RPG line.

However, this was long before he became a Warcaster and the face on the Lord Commander Stryker action figure would be a better reference perhaps.

Hey guys Garrett here hope all is going well at WMD, Warmachine is looking awesome, looking forward to more.:D

[Creaux]

Hey, like the work!

[Wordsmith]

Not sure if I am the only one to see the similarity, but facially I think your current Stryker looks a bit like the NPC Alistaire from Dragon Age Origins.

[ATC 1982]

I have yet to play DA:O, but if that is right. Nice work.

[Justin Kase]

Both are pretty impressive (though, Stryker reminds me a bit of David Duchovny for some reason).

Any chance we might eventually get some short animation clips in the future?

[Shalinor]

They both look amazing!!

I reckon keep Stryker chunky - all the more for my Necrosurgeon to work with and my GOD where was Sorscha when I was single?

Her eyes just suck you in :o
