Northpoint: Landscape & Creature Shots

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but my aim is to keep this blog more regularly updated, so I'll do my best to that end. However, I think the wait will have been worth it, as we've got plenty of content to show off for this post!

First of all, I'm sure you'll agree that Kaelin our 3d modeler has outdone himself again! He's just finished work on the fearsome male Grahl, who you can see in the image below, accompanied by the smaller female Grahl he created previously. What a beautifully vicious couple they are! :D

The Grahl are the trolls of Northpoint. You'll find them living in caves and wandering the rugged, wintery wastes.

Next up we have some new level designing shots from Ionis. I just finished generating the LOD (distant objects) mountains for Northpoint, so I decided to have a run around and take some shots for you. Obviously these areas are still a WIP, as Ionis is going to come in later and do some fine detailing for these locations so they won't look as bare/empty, but already you can see there's a lot of great work there:

We've also got some progress shots on new creatures: the Herne and the Ogrim coming very soon. Also, 3d modeler Nathan has been working on a very special secret creature. The model has been completed, so now it only needs texturing. I'd love to show you the creature, as it looks magnificent, but sadly to do so would ruin Northpoint's main questline for you, so you'll just have to wait and be surprised! :)

Thanks for reading and watch this space for more info coming soon!
