Shiva model!

[Imoen]

So yeah... I told you so.



BTW, what about that High Res concept art??? Pretty Please 八(＾□＾*)

I dunno... "Dat s**t be dangerous!" Lol

Seriously though I wouldn't mind seeing some hi-res art.

On a curious side note, am I crazy or is the tiny pic thing a growing trend on sites? Is this a mobile device choice or what?

lol JP title for shiva blog is "Sexy!" O.o at least that's what Google says

Thal's Balls! These forums are hot enough to melt an ice goddess.

I suppose some of that might be due to slight lack of info in my latest Developers' Blog post. (Looks around... Crickets chirp...) Okay, I suppose most of that might be due to a slight lack of info in my latest Developers' Blog post.

So, I just wanted to pop in to clear things up.

The ZBrush models you see are a Work In Progress. The colors you see are mostly for aesthetic purposes so the designer's eyes don't bleed after staring at a grey blob all day, and the final textures will more than likely end up being a lot similar to what is shown in the original concept art. YAY!

Even with that said, works in progress are just that, and as the work progresses, Yoshi-P may have an epiphany and decide to give her a second head, convert one of her legs into a machine gun, and rename her Jezebel (hopefully not, though... At least the second head part...)

Either way, I apologize again for the confusion, and in future Dev Blog posts, we'll make sure that works in progress are properly tagged and branded.

For those of you not familiar with ZBrush, a few users such as Hulan, Zantetsuken, Imoen, and Gramul have already posted (in this very thread!) some basic info on the program, and what it's used for.

God knows, i love the FFXIV Forums Reps!
Always good for a laugh, keep up with it!

To the angry ppl: Ive not been much into programming stuff like that, but EVEN I did knew that this wasnt the final product/coloring...
I mean... really?

Atleast i finally do understand now, why they dont show stuff to us as early as possible... because of reactions like those...

I dont like the design one bit, its too human. normal skin color and high heels? really? sorry but it doesnt look one bit like shiva besides the slutty costume (which is good).

The one from the artwork looks much better, pale skin and a darker blue. I hope the change it.

Idiot, it's a normal map Zbrush model. There's more than enough info in the blog post to indicate the model is NOT. COMPLETE. It has yet to have actual textures applied.


I'm sorry, I try so hard to be reasonable. But please. Please please please please. COMPREHEND what you READ. Do you even know what zbrush is?

Soon enough they'll stop leaking works in progress because it attracts so much negativity because people, for some reason, Think they're finished.

From my collection

Had to LOL at this.

It's like when you ask a client for a vector logo and they just embed the .jpeg version in an .eps

(first world graphic designer problems )

I bow before her majesty, queen of the aurora!

...I mean ice.

Actually, I rather like this idea.

(I like that last part in there Fernehalwes...in the fine print. )


The fact that Fernehalwes had to even come in here to reassure everyone that it's a Work in Progress is just incredibly annoying to me.

Some of the posts on here are so uneducated. If you don't know what zbrush, "high res character model" "normal maps", or WORK IN PROGRESS means, what the hell are you thinking then? "I hate the way she looks, the concept art is way better!"

Are you kidding me?

I have a feeling you people just looked at the picture and didn't even read the post. Even then it should be obvious that it's incomplete.

These are the same people that complain when we don't get any info. We don't get info because things aren't done. When we're shown things that are incomplete, The dev team gets negative responses. It's a lose lose situation for these poor guys! They just can't catch a break. It just baffles me. The work in this Shiva model is outstanding. It's a lot of work to get it to where it is now. Which reminds me. The people saying "I guess she's okay." Do you know the work that goes into this?



I just couldn't be a moderator. Fernehalwes, I commend you and everyone on the team for your tremendous amount of patience.
