| Below are images from the
pre-production effort on MX vs ATV Alive 2 at the point that THQ closed
the studio, abandoning further development of MX vs ATV. Aside from the
high-res turntable images at the top, all the renderings feature the
in-game model and texture assets. The visual
efforts were to further enhance the girls' realism, and upgrade their
rigs in preparation for being used much more prominently in the
supercross-heavy game design of Alive 2. Presentation and show were
going to be emphasized. These girls also feature a fully developed
mudbox sculpt, more developed facial rig, added hand and arm bones for
better deformation, and other enhancements in the hair and skin shaders.
The renders below feature some of those approaches. The blonde head
sculpt, textures and hair were produced to demonstrate the useability of
a variant of the first model. Click on the turn-table images (the image
at the top) to download the turntable animation rendered from
Mudbox. |
