Shiva model!

[Imoen]

Honestly, the more I look at it the more I think it has the default red wax material as an undercoat.

I'm gonna try something when I get home.

Can't be red wax looks more like one of the default skin mat caps though.



Maybe though /shrug could be one of the sculpy too, but hard to tell with those screens.

It really is sad that I have to say this again in these forums..

These forums exist for the sole purpose of the players discussing what they do and do not like about the way the game is playing and being developed. It does not exist to tell people the things they are talking about are irrelevant because the game is not done yet.

It does not matter that there is a method of sculpting 3D models that could result in Shiva looking like this before she is finished.

It does not matter that you are a professional with years of experience doing what is displayed in the screen captures.

The Designer for this model could choose to or not to use the color scheme shown in these pictures. That is not relevant. If you do not say that you do not like this color scheme, you are saying that you do like this color scheme. To be silent is to accept the status quo.

I would never venture to say that this is the final model. I've seen Developers change things a few days before launch. I merely pointed out that the amount of time put in to creating the current color scheme is not on par with what we normally see from Square-Enix.

All that said, Stop attacking people for expressing an opinion different from your own. You can sit by quietly and not discuss a topic. Right or Wrong does not matter. The conversation is what counts.

Like I said at the beginning, I think SE is using the forums as just one more tool of development after all they release things here and answer questions here and I think they would want to hear all opinions. :P

Again... Afro-Shiva. There's still time.

The hair looks terrible standing up like that; looks like the Axe commercial where the guy puts too much hair gel in his hair and takes a dive in the ocean with fish stabbed by his hair. Sorry, everything else looks fine but that hair.

That isn't her hair. It is a crown.

Give me frosted eyelashes, or give me death.

[Andrien]

in my opinion i think she is the best looking Shiva yet. She is what I'd imagine as an ice goddess.

[Ricky]

my god those hips and thighs

[Ryokyu]

it looks alright i think they could had done much better job but better then nothing lol

[Fernehalwes]

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.
