Starcraft: Sons of War

[ITSTORRASQUE4U]

Not to mention, we can't match SC2's cinematic capabilities. We're not even at SCG level yet

On another note, a little update on the Rattail helmet. We cut the options down to 2 designs, and currently Mike's proposal is winning 4-1.

Actually, I think that the Helmet is good for the character because of the name. 

[ITSTORRASQUE4U]

Sorry for so long without an update guys, I've just been eaten away by school and work :/

Here's our textured Ultralisk:

Coming next will be probably the overlord. We also have some works on our Vanguard and Zergling, but we don't want to present them until they're more ahead.

Wow, that actually looks pretty good.

[Lavarinth]

Good displacement maps, however texture wise, the inner portion of the claws seem stretched compared to the outer potion, and there's not much "mending" between the outer-upper shell and those bumps on it, doesn't quite fit.

[Kerrigan()Asuka]

B e a utiful!

[ITSTORRASQUE4U]

Sadly Lavarinth, the UV arrangement for the claw was the best I could get, due to the texture jpg being so small. We would need a master PS guy to make a bigger texture and then arrange the UVs correctly.

Also, in the worst of cases, we could just remove the back spikes

[Lavarinth]

No, no, the spikes are nice, just that they "pop" and don't feel connected to the shell.

[Kaoru]

Yeah, they look sort've like leeches, rather than natural chitinous protrusions. Still, other than that, and the mentioned issue with the claws, that is a damn fine Ultralisk.
Also, is it just me, or, looking at it this way, do Ultralisks really remind you of Duriel?

[ITSTORRASQUE4U]

We used the manual render Ultralisk as reference so yeah, odds are the official concept is very close to Duriel.

Lava, with these guys running around with motion blur and stuff, those details will not be noticed

Although more like Overlol if you ask me:

I do have to point out though, the shell texture was changed in the end to this:

The final version of the carapace is definitely better. The one posted here looks like a flying raspberry

[ITSTORRASQUE4U]

Thanks, although some people in SOW thought it looked too dry

Eh- Never been a fan of "fly by" animation. That's just an animator talking though

Clouds are too fast (particles I'm assuming). But keep at it.
