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.
