Anyone have a clue what modeling program the artists are using in the latest Making Of A Realm #2 vid?

I am referring to the brick red sculpture clay view interface for the modeling when they show off the phases of the monster construction. At 02:36 in the English subtitle version.

I thought Modo at first then looked at Blender but hmm.

And on topic, I love the flying flute/bong looking mob with the bird feet and look forward to finding out what crazy scientist in the storyline created it.

Looked like Zbrush to me.

Looked like Zbrush to me.

I will check out that prog then and try to match the interface, thank you .

Eorzea - the making of realm #3 has been released.

If I had the link I would post it here, but no dice.

[Spira]

how can anyone say 'golden subligar' with a straight face?

[Celeras]

Very unimpressive video this time to be quite honest. Only thing I took away from it was a little 'oooh' at a glimpse of a zone from the other continent, seemed Ul'dah-ish. (part with the elvaan in green)

[Hyan]

I hope there's a quest for it similar to Sacrarium JSE in XI!

Would make for a nice 'raid'.

[Gokulo]

Yeah, I thought it must be Ul'dah region too.

[Spira]

i think its different strokes for different folks.. the intricate details that go into stuff like clothing is something that I've always admired in FFs and XIV so far doesnt fail to deliver high quality eq models.. though i am still getting used to the artistic direction of Eorzea's fashion...

The sleeves + gloves thing does show attention to detail tho.. impressed by that.
i'm also fairly impressed that they deconstructed clothing into layers for use with PS. not a new idea but it makes the design process much more functional..

as for the gear itself. i wont expect anything flashy yet because its the game at release... the good stuff typically come much later on

but anyway.. i hope they have a 'designing of the world' episode in this making of Eorzea series

Yep... XI had some fugly armor designs in it's early days.

But also in it's late days, goliard set anyone? =/

[Ramor]

i dunno man, that lizard set at 17 was some pretty hot shit.

[Agito]

Good stuff. I'm totally looking forward to pimping the robin hood armors./

[Alexymage]

well ff11 doesn't have such flashy armors like it's sparkling and stuffs...i still think GM's armor is cool tho

[Hyan]

If the middle character in the first art pic wasn't male miqo'te I'll eat my hat.

Too bad they ran out of time =/

I wonder what they mean by "first version update". Day Zero update or the one after that?

[Uzor]

probably not day zero, I'm guessing the next big patch that adds content, not the emergency "We forgot to add these to the original game. Also, bug fixes" patch. So I would guess December, unless they do an "Every second month" type of deal.

[Hyan]

Kinda hoping that they'll update the game more frequently than that. I always liked the 2-2½month delay between updates in CoP.

[Kurokikaze]

^ this. Plenty of updates to keep folks happy. But they better not go the Blizz route where your shit is outdated every 3 months.

[Hyan]

Tbh, until they settle down with a good level cap I think they'll do just that.

I believe they'll do it similarly as in XI though, when they start raising the cap they keep doing it until they think it's good enough. Then it's back to horizontal progress.

[Uzor]

tbh, I think they'll go the Blizzard route. Perhaps not making your gear outdated as often, but I think they're thinking of raising the level cap with every expansion.

Speaking of which - I'm really hoping they do the "Magian Trial" system when it comes to gear, too. You know, making the old "best gear" upgradeable through quests or something, so that it doesn't make all of the gear you've worked for completely obsolete with every level cap increase.

I mean - really, FFXI's system of "Gear you got 7 years ago is still the best" was retarded, but WoW's of "New instance. All your gear is now shit" is also retarded. It needs to be a nice balance between the two.
