That's awesome Eder! I love that! Looks like you did a Cartoon Render of some sort? Very nice!

Yeah, it's nice to have something different than the standard high polygon models. The high res ones are great.

 

[Delance]

Very good. High tech WC2 graphics.

Yeah, I faked a cartoon shader by using some falloff maps in MAX and then adding a duplicate of the original model (with inverted normals, colored solid black, and made "fatter" by the Push modifier) to get the external outlines. Tried to bring back even more of that WC2 feeling than usual.

This is the model which showed up in our Ep 3 release announcement a few days ago (it was unfinished back then, hence the low resolution and extra motion blur ) and which will be used in our splash screens and such.
