THE WELCOME WAGON!

Hello out there!

The NMRiH team is continuing it's streak of progress and picking up new faces and talent along the way. We've managed to round out the modeling department with three new guys. Please welcome to the team: Sporkeh, Machine, and Kan3. Take a moment to give them a warm welcome and enjoy some render shots of the models that they have created so far for us:

We admit that it took quite a while, but we finally got a hold of a talented character animator. One that will be able to put all of our favorite zombie motions into virtual reality! His name is Vok and here is some of the great work that he has been doing for us:

Please keep in mind that these animations are still considered "work in progress".

The Mapping Department:

As usual, our mapping department has been keeping a steady pace in the creation and production of the wonderful environments for our game. The department has also had a leadership shakeup with Generalvivi stepping down due to his professional obligations and 2d-Chris taking control of the department. Speaking of 2d-Chris, here is a new shot of his "Citylife" map that he has just about completed:

To accommodate our gameplay mode requirements and stressing for the most custom content possible in our maps, SlimZ has overhauled his map "Cabin Fever" and would like to show off some new shots of it to all of you:

Veteran mapper; Darth_Brush has been simultaneously working on a few different maps. From the chaotic streets of "City of Dawn" to the derelict halls of the hospital in "Final Stand", he is surely keeping himself busy. Take a look at some shots of these two gems:

Darth_Brush also surprised the team this month with the revealing of a map that has been in the planning stages for a few years now; "The Harvest". Kan3 also helped out a great deal creating an amazing 3d skybox for this map as well. Here are some teaser shots:
