This is our second news post and big step of progress. We have been hard at work with some new models. The Familiar has been completely redone with a new model and skin. Also normal maps are now working properly and we got to use it on the Familiar!
We are still currently waiting for the next big update on our engine, the Torque Shader Engine. When that comes around we can really produce some very attractive scenes. But for now, heres some stuff we've been busying ourselves with latley:
First off, the big guy: The Familiar!
Here are some pictures of him. From left to right is the: low poly model, high poly model, ingame shot.
And here are a couple without particles to show the normal map. Keep in mind that the lighting of TSE is quite well from being completed and the normal mapping doesn't quite work properly, so in the end the details are not as visible. But simply look at the high poly and thats how much detail is in the normal map and placed on the model.
And here is a little 30 second video of it:
