This means that when it comes to concept art, modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation, everything is always up for debate and change, and we’re rethinking and revising continuously. We don’t call anything truly “complete” until it’s in the game and fulfilling all of our (and your!) expectations. This is a good opportunity to talk about the iterative process we go through with all of the art we create, especially with the updated player models.
Hi all-I’m Tyson, and on behalf of everyone on the art team, we’re excited to be able to give you a first look at our in-progress female Night Elf model. Let’s get this going with some comments from Tyson Murphy, our lead character artist. As you probably know, we’re in the process of updating all of the original character models, along with the Draenei and Blood Elf, to improve their texture, polygon, and animation fidelity. Hello, and welcome to Artcraft! I’m Chris Robinson, senior art director on World of Warcraft, and in today’s edition we’re going to give you a first look at the new female Night Elf model.
