Models and Textures

We are now putting the finishing touches on the Asuran Antaeus geometry details. The next step will be to make them into height maps. Since we already have over 150 new geometry greebles from this model we'll be completing any remaining details during texturing.

New Members

We would like to introduce you to 3 new members that have joined us in the last couple weeks.

Idaeus III is our new concept designer, he mainly writes us reports on how to improve the mod. He has already written us 2 reports on how we can make each race have a unique play-style. Below you can read what he has suggested for the Asuran race.
